It seems to be an old issue. I stumbled on this question while having a similar problem.

At the end it was just a bug in Android. The code is supposed to work, but the AnimatorInflater just blunders when setting the evaluator.

So setting the TypeEvaluator after the inflation again would do the trick.

    ObjectAnimator objAnim = (ObjectAnimator)AnimatorInflater.loadAnimator(getActivity(), R.animator.animator_bkg);
    objAnim.setTarget(view);
    objAnim.setEvaluator(new ArgbEvaluator());
    objAnim.start();

Set to new ArgbEvaluator() the animation works like intended.
