Why is my onResume being called twice?

Question

Basically, this is what I'm doing

1) Set AlarmManager to execute BroadcastReceiver (BCR)

Intent intent = new Intent(m_Context, BCR.class);  
intent.putExtras(extras);  
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(m_Context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);  
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, StartTime, pendingIntent)  

2) Start MyActivity from BCR

@Override  
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {  
    Intent newIntent = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
    newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);  
    context.startActivity(newIntent);  
}

3) Have MyActivity turn on the screen if its not on

@Override  
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
    getWindow().addFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);
    getWindow().addFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
    getWindow().addFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON);
    setContentView(R.layout.myactivity);  
} 

@Overide  
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {  
    super.onNewIntent(intent);  
}  

For some reason, I notice that right when MyActivity is opened, it's flow goes like:

onCreate/onNewIntent -> onResume -> onPause -> onResume

I'm not sure why it does an onPause right away. I notice this only happens when the screened is being turned on by the flags. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there any way this behavior can be prevented?

Answer 1

Just in case anyone else runs into this, I seem to notice this behaviour only when I inflate fragments inside of an activity via XML layout. I don't know if this behaviour also happens with the compatibility library version of Fragments (I'm using android.app.Fragment)

It seems the activity will call Activity#onResume once before calling Fragment#onResume to any added Fragments, and then will call Activity#onResume again.

1. Activity:onCreate
2. Fragment:onAttach
3. Activity:onAttachFragments
4. Fragment:onCreate
5. Activity: onStart
6. Activity: onResume
7. Fragment: onResume
8. Activity: onResume
