Wrong Android animation

Welcome to the forum

Are you asking whether there is a way of changing this? It may depend what phone, software version or launcher you have, as I've never seen an animation like what you describe - clicking home on my phone fades (quickly) to the homescreen whatever app is running.

 

Sorry, but I don't see the difference, literally. I've watched it a dozen times now and couldn't say whether it's supposed to represent one fading over the other. It's just a fade between, and doesn't imply any over/under order or anything about closing to me.

When you talked about a "close" animation I assumed you meant something different, and maybe you do. Different brands can use different stock animations if they wish. This is something that the launcher can change (I've confirmed this), so if you don't like it it is possible to change.

 

the traditional way to 'exit' an application in Android (although you're really only closing the part you see--the services continue to run in the background to serve you notifications) is by using 'back', not 'home'. 'home' is merely a minimize button.

 

Install Nova launcher and select your preferred animation. Doesn't change behaviour, just how it's animated.

Personally I find showy animation irritating so just go for the least ostentatious.
