Vector animation in RecyclerView

Question

Preface
I want to implement a download animation in RecyclerView. In onBindViewHolder and onViewRecycled I subscribe to and unsubscribe from presenter which retrieves the percentage of already downloaded file. I start animation:

        AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat drawable = AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat.create(context, R.drawable.download_animated);
        if (drawable != null) {
            holder.downloadingIcon.setImageDrawable(drawable);
            drawable.start();
        } 

Problem
I have got onViewRecycled invoked right after the animation is finished with follow stacktrace:

Question
Why it behaves like so and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

It turns out, notifyItemChanged caused to recycler previous ViewHolder so onBindViewHolder and onViewRecycled are invoked... but on different instances. Firstly onBindViewHolder is invoked with new ViewHolder instance. Next onViewRecycled is invoked with the old ViewHolder.
In my case problem was relying only on one id of the model. It doesn't unambiguously describe Presenter's View I used to notify about updates.
