As far as I understand, your GIF image is not moving, so that's the native Android behaviour if you treat GIF like a static picture. For me the best solution (not to reinvent the wheel!) was the open-source library gitDrawable. Check their README, everything is very simple: add dependency to gradle and use(in XML or code). Example of usage in Java:

GifDrawable gifFromResource = new GifDrawable( getResources(), R.drawable.anim );
