ScreenOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown not working

Question

I want to set orientation of device to PortraitUpsideDown. For this purpose, I have written some test code. Here it is :

 void Update ()
     {
         if (Input.deviceOrientation == DeviceOrientation.LandscapeLeft && Screen.orientation != ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft) {
             Debug.Log ("landscape left");
             Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft;
         } else if (Input.deviceOrientation == DeviceOrientation.LandscapeRight && Screen.orientation != ScreenOrientation.LandscapeRight) {
             Debug.Log ("landscape right");
             Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.LandscapeRight;
         } else if (Input.deviceOrientation == DeviceOrientation.Portrait && Screen.orientation != ScreenOrientation.Portrait) {
             Debug.Log ("portrait");
             Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait;
         } else if (Input.deviceOrientation == DeviceOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown && Screen.orientation != ScreenOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown) {
             Debug.Log ("portrait upside down");
             Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown;
         }
     }

Here in this all orientations condition become true only for 2 times. While PortraitUpsideDown become keep on running when I set my device to that orientation.

Why it is not running as like other orientations code?? Please give me your suggestion for this. Is it possible android device not contains that orientation?

remove else if and use only if or even better use switch and even best just set Player Settings >> Resolutions and Presentation >> Default Orientation to Auto Rotation

Basically I want to detect orientation change in my game. Because for landscape and portrait, I have different game play views. Something similar to Candy Crush. Now give me suggestion for above.

then simply set the Default screen orientation in Player settings to Auto Rotation and through script just check what is the current orientation using Screen.Orientation, coz of this Unity will handle your Orientations and you just had to make two variables one for current orientation and other for previous orientation ... if this helps please accept the ANSWER
