Storing integer values as constants in Enum manner in java

I'm currently creating integer constants in the following manner.

public class Constants {
    public static int SIGN_CREATE=0;
    public static int SIGN_CREATE=1;
    public static int HOME_SCREEN=2;
    public static int REGISTER_SCREEN=3;
}

When i try to do this in enum manner 

public enum PAGE{SIGN_CREATE,SIGN_CREATE,HOME_SCREEN,REGISTER_SCREEN}

and When i used PAGE.SIGN_CREATE it should return 1;

enums constants java

if you want to be able to convert integer back to corresponding enum with selected value see Constants.forValue(...) in below auto generated code but if not the answer of BlairHippo is best way to do it.

public enum Constants
{
SIGN_CREATE(0),
SIGN_CREATE(1),
HOME_SCREEN(2),
REGISTER_SCREEN(3);

    public static final int SIZE = java.lang.Integer.SIZE;

    private int intValue;
    private static java.util.HashMap<Integer, Constants> mappings;
    private static java.util.HashMap<Integer, Constants> getMappings()
    {
        if (mappings == null)
        {
            synchronized (Constants.class)
            {
                if (mappings == null)
                {
                    mappings = new java.util.HashMap<Integer, Constants>();
                }
            }
        }
        return mappings;
    }

    private Constants(int value)
    {
        intValue = value;
        getMappings().put(value, this);
    }

    public int getValue()
    {
        return intValue;
    }

    public static Constants forValue(int value)
    {
        return getMappings().get(value);
    }
}
