The official and working answer is here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/64591234

This code works with >= API 16 (probably also 14-15). I'm using support library 26.1.0 and vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true (so I can refer to a vector drawable in xml without crashing)

animatedVector = AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat.create(getContext(), R.drawable.animated_clock);
ringingAlarmImage.setImageDrawable(animatedVector);
final Handler mainHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
animatedVector.registerAnimationCallback(new Animatable2Compat.AnimationCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onAnimationEnd(final Drawable drawable) {
        mainHandler.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                animatedVector.start();
            }
        });
    }
});
animatedVector.start();
