I found the workaround for this issue. You should simple call:

getHolder().getSurface().release();

in your control from Activity's onDestroy()

Something like this:

class MyView {

    ...

    public void release() {
        getHolder().getSurface().release();
    }

    ...
}

class MyActivity extends Activity {

    ...

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
         super.onDestroy();
         mMyView.release();
    }

    ...

}
