None! Some verbs cannot be used in progressive.
feeling: hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish
senses: appear, feel, hear, see, seem, smell, sound, taste
communication: agree, deny, disagree, mean, promise, satisfy, surprise
thinking: believe, imagine, know, mean, realize, recognize, remember, understand
other states: be, belong, concern, depend, involve, matter, need, owe, own, possess
Note, however, that we can say: "I’m liking it here more and more as time goes by." to emphasise the idea of development.
