By default, when an animated GIF is loaded it will not be played. This is because the IsAnimationPlaying property, that controls whether an animated GIF is playing or stopped, has a default value of false. This property, of type bool, is backed by a BindableProperty object, which means that it can be the target of a data binding, and styled.

Therefore, when an animated GIF is loaded it will not be played until the IsAnimationPlaying property is set to true.

Modify code of Image as bellow :

new Image { Source = "a.jpg", IsAnimationPlaying = true}

For example , this is my gif file :

Xaml code :

The effect :
