I want to make something like the Red labelled part on android so I was wondering what should I use to accomplish it.
The the aircraft icon should move to value I provide. Can this be accomplished by means of ProgressBar?

Yea, just use a progress bar, with a custom icon (the plane) and create a websocket to an aircraft location API from some provider. I believe that flight paths are publicly available.
As an example: https://uk.flightaware.com/
You could base it off the depart, arrival time and the phones current time. therefore updating every minute or so and provides an offline solution.
Also, I like aircraft lol.
