In your Main Activity that you will be showing every-time on launching the app, Try the following logic.

 SharedPreferences mPrefs;
 final String splashScreenPref= "SplashScreenShown";


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);


    Boolean splashScreenShown= mPrefs.getBoolean(splashScreenPref, false);

    if (!splashScreenShown) {            
        Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,SplashScreenActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);

        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mPrefs.edit();
        editor.putBoolean(splashScreenShown, true);
        editor.commit(); 
        finish();
    }

}

You need check every time when app will open that is it first startup of app ? if yes then show your one time splash screen else show main activity

you can use shared preference to store data about first startup.

Here,

You should create application class and need to call your require activity from application class onCreate method.

    public class Appli extends android.app.Application {
        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
//manage base on your requirement,you can use share preference for splash screen track
            Intent intent = new Intent(this,Main2Activity.class);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

            startActivity(intent);

        }

Manifest:

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:name=".Appli"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</application>

Above code sure work,i have tested.
