RAM usage increases when Activity called from Service multiple times

I have a problem here. I have a Service which calls an activity to perform an action. The activity is called randomly or pre-defined time period.

But the RAM usage increases by 2-3 MB every time the activity is called.

This is how i call the activity from the Service,

         Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
         callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
         callIntent.setClass(getBaseContext(),CustomDialog.class);
         startActivity(callIntent);

Most likely, that is because you are creating new instances of your activity each time. Either use FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT instead of FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, or make sure that your old activity instances get destroyed at some point (e.g., user pressing BACK or you calling finish()).

You are welcome to get a heap dump from DDMS, examine it in MAT, and determine specifically where your problem lies.
