Ripple effect on Recyclerview items is not noticeable sometime

Question

I have a recyclerview implementation in one of the activity and Recyclerview item click navigates to a different screen. But when user clicks on an Recyclerview item user can see ripple effect (in API level >= 21) before it navigates to other activity. My problem is some time navigation is fast and user couldn't able to notice any ripple effect. How can I delay navigation for some milliseconds so that user can see some ripple effect.

Recyclerview Layout is as follows

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
                    android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:background="@color/white"
                    android:focusable="true"
                    android:clickable="true"
                    android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
                    android:clipToPadding="false"/>

Recyclerview Item Layout is as follows

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

You may like to defer starting your new activity/fragment by a few milliseconds like this

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        startActivity(...)  // For starting an activity

        // Or for doing a fragment transaction
        // fragmentTransaction.commit();
    }
}, 250);
