4 days and not one response but meanwhile I solved it myself. So the approach was close, just wrongly placed.

I added this method:

private void stopAnimation() {
    for (Animator anim : mTotalAnimation.getChildAnimations()) {
        ((ObjectAnimator) anim).reverse();
        anim.end();

Starting in Android O, the AnimatorSet API now supports seeking and playing in reverse. Seeking lets you set the position of the animation set to a specific point in time. Playing in reverse is useful if your app includes animations for actions that can be undone. Instead of defining two separate animation sets, you can play the same one in reverse.
