How to finish activity with custom animation when home button pressed

I have an ActionBarActivity "B" whose parent is ActionBarActivity "A" (also defined in manifest). A is in "singleTask" launch mode. I have an animation when starting B from A as follows:

public void onItemClick(...) {
    Intent mIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), B.class);
    startActivity(mIntent);
    getActivity().overridePendingTransition(R.anim.B_in, R.anim.A_out);
}

On B, I have the following onOptionsItemSelected and onBackPressed:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == android.R.id.home) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate();
        //onBackPressed();
        //finish();
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.A_in, R.anim.B_out);
}

Here is the problem: When I press back button, the animation at onBackPressed is taking place as expected. However, when I click on icon at top left in the actionbar, popBackStackImmediate is called and Android's default animation is played which is different. So:

  1. How can I manage to get same animation as in onBackPressed?
  2. Should I use onBackPressed() instead of popBackStackImmediate()? Will it give the same result as popBackStackImmediate do?

Any suggestions and best practices are welcome...

You could use .popBackStack() instead of popBackStackImmediate() then overrride the pendingTransition, that might work. Since these are both activities though, my inclination would be to call finish(); then overridePendingTransition().
