How to specify a launch image for Android app

Right now my application zooms into a white screen as it is launching.

I have noticed Google default Android apps using a launch image while their app binaries load.

Does Android offer the ability to use a launch image for an application? I do not mean a splash screen that is on a timer AFTER the app has launched. I mean a static resource that is shown while the app is loading. Like the Apple launch image. Thanks.

Example of launch image for iOS here. Apple

Having development experience on both sides, No, android does not provide any such way similar to LaunchImage of ios.
