No, that is not possible. Dalvik will hate you if don't call the super.onCreate() and will throw you a mean SuperNotCalledException.

This may get mixed responses, but the best I've been able to find is by adding android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" to your activity in the AndroidManifest.xml.

<activity
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
    android:name=".ActivityName">

There are other answers.

Note: If you mean you never want it called, then no, it has to be called.
