If you always want to the same transition animation for the activity

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (isFinishing()) {
        overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
    }
}
