Do this

Result Values for Oreintations will be:-  
Portrait  == 1

int i = context.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
if (i == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
   yourimg.setBackground(yourAimage);
} else {
   yourImg.setBackground(yourBimage);
}

you can create two xml layouts here one for landscape and other for portrait. In portrait xml you can add different images for background. By this we can use two different layouts for two orientations for a single activity. see the below picture, hope it should help.
