PiP avoid activity recreation when entering

Is there a way to avoid the activity recreation when changing over to a picture in picture window?

Basically I call it like this:

@Override
protected void onUserLeaveHint() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 24 && isInFullscreen) {
        MainActivity.this.enterPictureInPictureMode();
    }
    super.onUserLeaveHint();
}

The activity always reloads, which results into longer waiting times.

From the docs- add this to the activity in your manifest:

android:resizeableActivity="true"
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
android:configChanges=
    "screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|orientation"

See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/picture-in-picture.html for more detail
