If you has your own custom View who has a RotateDrawable and want to make it rotate, following code may help. The trick is to call Drawable.setLevel() on the drawable.

RotateDrawable

    private Drawable mLoadingDrawable;

    private Transformation mTransformation;
    private AlphaAnimation mAnimation;
    private boolean mHasAnimation;
    private Interpolator mInterpolator;
    private long mLastDrawTime;

    private static final int ANIMATION_RESOLUTION = 200;
    private static final int MAX_LEVEL = 10000;

    /**
     * <p>
     * Start the indeterminate progress animation.
     * </p>
     */
    void startAnimation() {
        if (getVisibility() != VISIBLE) {
            return;
        }

        mHasAnimation = true;

        if (mInterpolator == null) {
            mInterpolator = new LinearInterpolator();
        }

        if (mTransformation == null) {
            mTransformation = new Transformation();
        } else {
            mTransformation.clear();
        }

        if (mAnimation == null) {
            mAnimation = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
        } else {
            mAnimation.reset();
        }

        mAnimation.setRepeatMode(Animation.RESTART);
        mAnimation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
        mAnimation.setDuration(3500);
        mAnimation.setInterpolator(mInterpolator);
        mAnimation.setStartTime(Animation.START_ON_FIRST_FRAME);
        postInvalidate();
    }

    /**
     * <p>
     * Stop the indeterminate progress animation.
     * </p>
     */
    void stopAnimation() {
        mHasAnimation = false;
        postInvalidate();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

        long time = getDrawingTime();
        if (mHasAnimation) {
            mAnimation.getTransformation(time, mTransformation);
            float scale = mTransformation.getAlpha();
            try {
                mLoadingDrawable.setLevel((int) (scale * MAX_LEVEL));
            } finally {
            }
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
                postInvalidateOnAnimation();
            } else if (SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - mLastDrawTime >= ANIMATION_RESOLUTION) {
                mLastDrawTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
                postInvalidateDelayed(ANIMATION_RESOLUTION);
            }
        }

        super.onDraw(canvas);
    }
