startActivityForResult() from a Fragment and finishing child Activity, doesn't call onActivityResult() in Fragment

FirstActivity.Java has a FragmentA.Java which calls startActivityForResult(). SecondActivity.Java call finish() but onActivityResult never get called which is written in FragmentA.Java.

FragmentA.Java code:

  @Override
  public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    // some code
    Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), SecondActivity.class);
    i.putExtra("helloString", helloString);
    getActivity().startActivityForResult(i, 1);
  }

  @Override
  public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    getActivity();
    if(requestCode == 1 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
       //some code
    }
  }

SecondActivity.Java code:

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       //some code
       Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
       returnIntent.putExtra("result", result);                          

       setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK,returnIntent);     
       finish();
  }

I have tried debugging the code, but onAcitvityResult() never get called.

You must write onActivityResult() in your FirstActivity.Java as follows

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
   super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

So this will call your fragment's onActivityResult()

Edit: the solution is to replace getActivity().startActivityForResult(i, 1); with startActivityForResult(i, 1);
