Try changing the activity declaration in the manifest and add the following attribute:

android:launchMode="singleTop"

It will prevent the activity from restarting.

See here for more information.

This is old question and probably won't help OP, but maybe others might benefit from this answer. I noticed very similar behaviour when I had set android:noHistory on the activity that was behaving this way in Android Manifest file:

    <activity
        android:name="SomeActivity"
        android:noHistory="true">
    </activity>

Of course you may need this flag, in which case you need to find workaround if the behaviour (such as onSaveInstanceState() being not called) causes you problems
