How can a View react to a Method call of a SurfaceView?

RESUME<br>
I'm programming a pacman, it is almost done but I'm having problems with the communication between the view which will show the score and the currect direction of the pacman, and the surface view which will draw the game.

The PlayActivity (which is an AppCompatActivity) has a GameView(which is a SurfaceView where the game is draw) and knows the GameManager(a class I've made that basically knows the pacman, the map, the ghosts, and everything). The PlayActivity also has a text view called scoreTv. I don't know how to update this text view.

The idea is that the scoreTv change its text value whenever the GameManager's methods addScore(int),eatPallet(int, int), eatBonus(int,int); eatSuperPallet(int,int) are invoked.

Here is the PlayActivity code

package Activities;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import com.example.pacman.DBManager;
import Game.GameView;
import com.example.pacman.R;
import com.example.pacman.Score;
public class PlayActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TextView playerNickname;
TextView score;
private TextView maxScore;
private SurfaceView gameSurfaceView;
private GameView gameView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Modified code
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
//we get text view that we will use
playerNickname=(TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.tv_player);
score=(TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.tv_current_score);
maxScore=(TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.tv_current_max_score);
gameSurfaceView= (GameView) this.findViewById(R.id.game_view);
//set text view initial values
playerNickname.setText(getIntent().getExtras().getString("playerNickname"));
score.setText("0");
maxScore.setText("To modify");
this.gameView=new GameView(gameSurfaceView.getContext());
this.gameSurfaceView.getHolder().addCallback(this.gameView);
}
protected void onResume(){
super.onResume();
this.gameView.resume();
}
protected void onPause(){
super.onPause();
this.gameView.pause();
}
public void updateScore(int score){
this.score.setText(""+score);
}
public void onLose(double score){
//We try to save the score, if there is a previous register we write only if this score
//is better that the one before
DBManager manager;
long raw;
Score scoreToSave;
manager=new DBManager(this);
scoreToSave=new Score(this.playerNickname.toString(), score);
if(manager.saveScore(scoreToSave)==-1){
//if i couldn't save the score
if(manager.updateScore(scoreToSave)!=-1){
//if my new score is better than the one previous
}else{
//if my new score is worse or equal than the one previous
}
}
}
}

And here is the Game View code

What I know so far is that I can't sent the scoreTv to the GameView, because the GameView can't change it due to not being in the same thread. I need the PlayActivity instance react whenever any of the methods I've told you before are called.

Well, I have found a solution, I don't like it, tough.
What have I done is the next:

1. I have created a STATIC SEMAPHORE in the AppCompatActivity
2. I pass it to the class GameManager as a STATIC SEMAPHORE too and I've changed the score in this class to static
3. Finally I've run a thread in the PlayActivity with the method runOnUiThread to update the scoreTv, this thread will acquire a permit, this one will be relese whenever the SCORE is update in the GameManager to avoid the active wait

You may be asking why I remark STATIC. If I don't do this, I don't know why the reference of the GameManager get lost. If someone know the answer please post it.
Here a link to the git repo, and here the code of the classes
