I dont find solution for screen orientation change of service but if we want to remove exception illegal argument exception do follwoing in finally block ( simply holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas); put in try and catch block )

finally {
    if (canvas != null) {
        try {
            holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
            } 
                            catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
