Android doesn't do anything to stop your code from working. As you seem to have already said, it is just doing standard serialization as here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/os/Parcel.java;h=31f87198878aa4ac6c1dd3f8be6e151c1d1c89d8;hb=HEAD#l1154 Note onRetainNonConfigurationInstance is NOT a solution, because in the case where your app goes to the background it still needs to place its UI state in onSaveInstanceState() so it can be restored later if the process is killed. Anything you only put in onRetainnonConfigurationInstance() will be lost, fairly randomly as far as the user is concerned.
