I have an app that has a transparency effect on it as well.

>From what I have seen, doing this causes your app to have the same
orientation policies as the visible app behind it... That is, if the app
behind it is locked in portrait, then that is what your app will be.  If it
is locked in landscape, then your app will run in landscape.  If it allows
for rotation then your app will also rotate.

Due to the way Android handles rotation I don't think this behavior can be
changed.
