Ignore Developer's Settings Animation Scale in Android

My app relies heavily on animations to work, and when their speed is changed in the developer's options, the whole app breaks and stops working. I've been researching ways of ignoring the developer's settings and forcing the animations to run as they should, but it is not changing anything really.

I'm calling this function in my App's Application Class' onCreate:

private fun fixAnimation() {
    val durationScale = Settings.Global.getFloat(contentResolver, Settings.Global.ANIMATOR_DURATION_SCALE, 1f)
    Log.d("fixAnimation", "durationScale: $durationScale")
    if (durationScale != 1f) {
        try {
            ValueAnimator::class.java.getMethod("setDurationScale",Float::class.javaPrimitiveType).invoke(null, 1f)
        } catch (t: Throwable) {
            Log.e("fixAnimation", t.message ?: t.toString())
        }
    }
}

But nothing changed.

Got it from here: Make ObjectAnimator animation duration independent of global animator duration scale setting in developer options And here: https://medium.com/@arpytoth/android-objectanimator-independent-of-global-animator-duration-fe33c808c83e Apparently it is working for some people but not on my case.

Maybe it is because I am using ViewPropertyAnimator, and not ValueAnimator directly? But it should still work, as this is changing the ValueAnimator's duration scale setting globally, and ViewPropertyAnimator is backed by a ValueAnimator...
