Have you considered using Frame Animations?

You can specify an xml in your anim folder that contains a frame-by-frame animation, specifing each image duration, and other settings, check it out

UPDATE

You can also build a frame animation programmatically of course:

    AnimationDrawable animation = new AnimationDrawable();
    animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image1), 100);
    animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image2), 500);
    animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image3), 300);
    animation.setOneShot(false);

    ImageView imageAnim =  (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);
    imageAnim.setBackgroundDrawable(animation);

    // start the animation!
    animation.start()
