Dialog box without launching app activity in the background

I have an IntentService which triggers a Dialog box after an event of interest has occurred. But, each time the Dialog box is launched, the MainActivity of my app is launched in the background with the Dialog box in the foreground. Dismissing the Dialog gives the user access to the Activity.

Is there a way to launch only the Dialog without launching the MainActivity in the background. I want it to be like the messaging app which shows a dialog for quick reply.

Thanks in advance.

Its not possible to launch a dialog without an activity's context.

However,

You can make an activity look and feel like a dialog by adding this theme in your manifest:

       <activity
        android:name="YourActivityThatLooksLikeADialog"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" />
