To correctly save the instance state of Fragment you must do the following:
1. within the fragment, save instance state by paramount onSaveInstanceState() and restore in onActivityCreated() :
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    ...
    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        //Restore the fragment's state here
    }
}
...
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);

    //Save the fragment's state here
}
2. And necessary purpose, within the activity, you have got to save lots of the fragment's instance in onSaveInstanceState() and restore in onCreate().
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        //Restore the fragment's instance
        mContent = getSupportFragmentManager().getFragment(savedInstanceState, "myFragmentName");
        ...
    }
    ...
}

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);

    //Save the fragment's instance
    getSupportFragmentManager().putFragment(outState, "myFragmentName", mContent);
}
