You need to create an activity that contain the image and start the other activity after some time, look this template:
<h3>splash_screen.xml</h3><pre style="background-image: URL(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z5ltvMQPaa8/SjJXr_U2YBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/46OqEP32CJ8/s320/codebg.gif); background: #f0f0f0; border: 1px dashed #CCCCCC; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; height: auto; line-height: 20px; overflow: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: left; width: 99%;"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/splashscreen"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="@drawable/splash" />
</LinearLayout>
</pre>
<h3>Splash Screen Activity</h3><pre style="background-image: URL(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z5ltvMQPaa8/SjJXr_U2YBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/46OqEP32CJ8/s320/codebg.gif); background: #f0f0f0; border: 1px dashed #CCCCCC; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; height: auto; line-height: 20px; overflow: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: left; width: 99%;"> package com.makingiants.fingerboom.activity;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import com.makingiants.fingerboom.R;
/**
* {@link http://stackoverflow.com/a/5486970}
*/
public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT = 1000;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);
final SplashActivity me = this;
/* New Handler to start the Menu-Activity
* and close this Splash-Screen after some seconds.*/
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
/* Create an Intent that will start the Menu-Activity. */
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(me, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(mainIntent);
}
}, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT);
}
}
</pre>

<h3>Manifest</h3>In manifest add attribute noHistory to the splash activity:

<pre style="background-image: URL(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z5ltvMQPaa8/SjJXr_U2YBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/46OqEP32CJ8/s320/codebg.gif); background: #f0f0f0; border: 1px dashed #CCCCCC; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; height: auto; line-height: 20px; overflow: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: left; width: 99%;"> <activity
android:name=".activity.SplashActivity"
android:noHistory="true"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</pre>
