You can use setRenderMode(RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY) to make the view only render when you call requestRender(). (To revert to continuous rendering use setRenderMode(RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY)).

onSurfaceCreated is called when the surface is created, but you most likely do not want to stop this method from executing, since without it you would be left without an option to begin loading your graphics. Instead try to preserve your View/Surface if you don't want to run it all the time.
