If you need to add a custom Navigator but don't want to subclass NavHost (which we expect will be needed in most cases), the correct approach is to add it before you set your graph:
1) Don't use app:navGraph in your XML
2) Get a reference to your NavController
3) Add your Navigator to the NavController
4) Call setGraph on the NavController
This relies on the fact that NavController waits until the graph is set before restoring state / doing anything at all.
Technically, the createFragmentNavigator() call in NavHostFragment is already called at the same time as your proposed onNavControllerCreated() method so as a workaround, you could override that method, add your Navigator, then return super.createFragmentNavigator().

The first solution does not work, because after screen rotation, the graph (probably a restored graph) is set when Activity.setContentView() is called.
The workaround with createFragmentNavigator() works, though it's not very elegant. Maybe the method could be renamed to createNavigators() and return a list or an array of Navigators?
Anyway, it is a good enough solution for now, so it is not very urgent.
In conclusion:
* I think that a better support for custom destinations should be provided before final release.
* I would suggest describing the "Add support for new destination types" section in the documentation in more details.
Thank you

I suspect the issue you're running into for the first solution is that you're using the setGraph(R.navigation.graph) method, which does indeed cause it to automatically inflate the graph by id on rotation. Using setGraph(navGraph) where navGraph is a navGraph object you've inflated with navController.getNavInflater().inflate(R.navigation.graph) will never automatically be recreated.
Definitely something we can do better on though :)

Make setGraph(int) and setGraph(NavGraph) act identically
Remove the auto restore functionality from NavController's
setGraph(int) method so that it functions identically to
setGraph(NavGraph).
This ensures that developers that manually are calling
setGraph() after adding custom navigators don't get
recreated too early.

Description
Version used: 1.0.0-alpha08
Devices/Android versions reproduced on:
Assuming:
- Main Activity has a NavHostFragment, which navigates between Fragment A & Fragment B
- Main activity handles going back with onSupportNavigateUp
- Fragment B has it's own NavHostFragment, which navigated between InnerFragmentB1 & InnerFragmentB2
- Parent NavHostFragment navigates from A -> B (which starts with B1)
- Sub NavHostFragment navigates from B1 -> B2
- Press up: Sub NavHostFragment returns to B1
- Press up: Parent NavHostFragment returns from B to A
What's the proper way of handling these types of situations where we'd like the back button to handle backing out of Inner Fragments first and then Outer Fragments after?
Details here:
