As mentioned in the comment on your question, it is normal behaviour.

A change in Locale is considered a change of Configuration the same as a change in orientation etc.

You need to override onConfigurationChanged in your Activity and reload everything from there.

NOTE: You will also need to specify android:configChanges="locale" in the Activity declaration in the AndroidManifest file.
