Animating strike-through on a TextView

I have been searching a lot on how to animate the strike-through affect on a TextView to no results. Only thing I am getting on forums and StackOverflow is:

some_text_view.setPaintFlags(some_text_view.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG)

What I want to do is, animate the strike-through affect like in todo apps on Play Store e.g. Any.do has it on an item left-to-right swipe.
