I solved the OpenGL error EGL_BAD_ALLOC

This error occurs due to I am not handling renderer properly with activity life cycle.

So your Activity's onPause() should look like this:

@Override
public void onPause() {
    eglSurface.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    super.onPause();
    ...
}

And you restore your GLSurfaceView to the hierarchy not from onResume() but from onWindowFocusChanged() :

@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
    super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
    if (hasFocus && eglSurface.getVisibility() == View.GONE) {
         eglSurface.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }
    ...
}
