When should I use getFragmentManager() when showing DialogFragments, and when should I use getSupportFragmentManager()?

Currently, I am showing my DialogFragments as follows:

myDialogFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "My Dialog Fragment");

If you are using API >= 14, then use getFragmentManager() and while using Support Package you have to use getSupportFragmentManager()

For Example Android Support Package v4 or v13.
