If I change manifest file then either it will apply that mode to all screen or it will change according to rotation of screen.

You can use a hadler. and make your androidclass implements that handler and change orientation accordingly

make an interface name it CustomHandler(edit: custom handler class goes in your core module) like this:

public interface CustomHandler {
public void setOrientationPortrait();
public void setOrientationLandscape();
}

now make your android class implements CustomHandler like this

public class AndroidLauncher extends AndroidApplication implements CustomHandler {

    @Override
    public void setOrientationPortrait(){
        this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
    }

    @Override
    public void setOrientationLandscape(){
    this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
        androidPref = getSharedPreferences("MyPref", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

        View gameView = initializeForView(new GameClass(this), config);
        setContentView(gameView);    
}

and in your GameClass that is in core module

simply call whenever you want to change orientation

public static CustomHandler handler;

public GameClass(CustomHandler handler){
    this.handler = handler;
}

then on any screen or stage

call it like this

GameClass.handler.setOrientationPortait();
//or
GameClass.handler.setOrientationLandscape();
