That is intentional. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
"Unless you specify otherwise, a configuration change (such as a change in screen orientation, language, input devices, etc) will cause your current activity to be destroyed, going through the normal activity lifecycle process of onPause(), onStop(), and onDestroy() as appropriate. If the activity had been in the foreground or visible to the user, once onDestroy() is called in that instance then a new instance of the activity will be created, with whatever savedInstanceState the previous instance had generated from onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)." Have a look at onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState - you should set your state that way. StackOverflow has a good example of it - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/151777/how-do-i-save-an-android-applications-state.
