You should create a Splash Screen,

1 : Create one new Activity with your home screen design (as you mentioned above)

2: Set this new Activity (Splash Screen) as your home Activity

3: Finally, in your new Activity or Splash Activity close or finish your Splash Activity (after 4-5 seconds using Timer) and start or open next Activity which you want..

Thats it..

1.Create seperate .java file for splashscreen Activity.

2.Create splashScreen .xml file seperately.

3.Open your your AndroidManifest.xml file and make your splash screen activity as Launcher activity.

 <activity
        android:name="packagepath.SplashScreen"



        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Try those steps .And if you want more help when doing this inform me. IF you got this inform me also
