about exif, why not uses it instead reflection:

ExifInterface exifInterface = new ExifInterface(src);
return exifInterface.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);

and about switch why not uses consts instead magic numbers?

switch (orientation) {
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_HORIZONTAL:
        matrix.setScale(-1, 1);
        break;
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
        matrix.setRotate(180);
        break;
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_VERTICAL:
        matrix.setRotate(180);
        matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
        break;
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_TRANSPOSE:
        matrix.setRotate(90);
        matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
        break;
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
        matrix.setRotate(90);
        break;
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_TRANSVERSE:
        matrix.setRotate(-90);
        matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
        break;
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
        matrix.setRotate(-90);
        break;
    default:
        return bitmap;
    }

@ademar111190: The author did both of those things to support SDK levels < 5, as they mentioned in the comment. If you are targeting >= 5, you can certainly do your approach as the ExifInterface type will be available to you.

This code is really good. Thank you !!! Can you help me with one problem?? Please, i have a camera application and my app work all time when the device have Android < 6.0. I think i must change the manifest...

@WhatFreshHellIsThis

Shouldn't this line:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 5) {

Actually be <5? Because if not then the comment above it directly contradicts it.
This seems to be incorrect.

Perfect. Just dont forget to delete bitmap.recycle() line if you gonna use bitmap variable again in the future.

I get this error: error: variable photoFile might not have been initialized.

I am using this code as follows:

String imagePath = photoFile.getAbsolutePath(); // photoFile is a File class.
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath);

Bitmap orientedBitmap = ExifUtil.rotateBitmap(imagePath, myBitmap);
