How to switch activity without animation in Android?

How can I use properly the Intent flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION in AndroidManifest file? I supose my problem is trivial, but I can't find good example or solution to it.

    <intent-filter>
        <data android:name="android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION" />
    </intent-filter>

However no error is reported by compliator, but data isn't correct. I just want to disable animation in case switching between activities. I can use getWindow().setWindowAnimations(0); in onCreate or onResume rather but using flag is better way, isn't it?

I can use also in code:

    Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), newactivity.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
    getContext().startActivity(intent);

But I want to use this flag in Android Manifest. To disable animation also in case returning from second activity to first.

If your context is an activity you can call overridePendingTransition:

Call immediately after one of the flavors of startActivity(Intent) or finish to specify an explicit transition animation to perform next.

So, programmatically:

this.startActivity(new Intent(v.getContext(), newactivity.class));
this.overridePendingTransition(0, 0);

The line in the theme style works fine, yet that replaces the animation with a white screen. Especially on a slower phone - it is really annoying. So, if you want an instant transition - you could use this in the theme style:

<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@null</item>
<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>

After starting intent you can use this code :

Intent intent = new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class);
overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
startActivity(intent);

If used, intent will work with no animations or transitions
