AnonymousI am dressing - Is that wrong?
No. To dress is a verb. I am dressing - is the present progressive tense.
AnonymousI am getting dressed - Is this the proper way?
Yes, it's fine. Both forms can be used. "getting dressed" is probably more frequently used.

My mobile is getting charged. This is informally OK, but not good for formal writing. The verb "get" is overused. It is better to use the right verb to be precise. Better: My mobile is charging. (Charge is a verb. It means to put electricity into the battery. It also means to spend money by using a credit card. And it has other meanings too.)
