in this particular case, the animations are in the notifications widget. it is 
using some QPropertyAnimations, a Plasma::ZoomAnimation, two 
Plasma::PixmapTransitionAnimations... the pie chart is just draw manually in 
BusyWidget::paint; it isn't using an animation for that at all.

all of this is in kdebase/workspace/plasma/generic/applets/notifications/ui/

so you could either work on modification directly to that code to suit your 
tastes, and/or you could make the code use generic components (such as add 
progress-chart styling to Plasma::BusyWidget, and have the notifications 
plasmoid use that) so that it becomes themable.
