here is my code, using setFillAfter don’t let it to restore and setting it to false it don’t stay in the animated state

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        i=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
        d=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        a=new AnimationSet(false);
        ScaleAnimation s=new ScaleAnimation(0, 2, 0, 2);
        TranslateAnimation t=new TranslateAnimation(0, 100, 0, 0);

        a.addAnimation(s);
        a.addAnimation(t);
        a.setRepeatCount(0); 
        a.setDuration(500);     
        a.setFillAfter(false);

        a.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator()); i.clearAnimation();

        d.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            i.clearAnimation();
            }
        });

        i.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                i.startAnimation(a);
                System.out.println("OnTouch called>>>>>>>>>>>");
                return false;
            }
        });

Change Repeat Mode to Infinite

a.setRepeatMode(Animation.INFINITE);

and use Animation Listener so now you can start Animation and stop Animation when ever you want.For More Details. See This Details example
