Android .cancel() doesn't cancel the animation

Question

I'm trying to cancel an animation with a very simply way just to see whether if .cancel() function doing what it is intended to do.

But it seems it just does not work.

Here is the code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.my_text_view);

        Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.my_animation);
        textView.startAnimation(animation);

        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                animation.cancel();
            }
        }, 2000);
    }
}

The animation is running forever. It just doesn't stop after 2 seconds.

If I call it from the view:

 textView.getAnimation().cancel();

It doesn't work either.

What do you think what makes this? I need a proper way to stop an animation.
