Close soft keyboard after dialog on Samsung devices

I have a dialog containing an EditText (inputType="number"). After the dialog is dismissed i would like to hide the keyboard, which is opened if the EditText of the dialog was in Focus at some point.

Now the thing is that i have an approach that works (at least on some Nexus Devices), except for Samsung Devices (S2, S3 at least). 

final InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

On other devices the keyboard (only numbers) closes after the dialog. On Samsung devices the keyboard just changes to a keyboard with all the letters (inputType="text"), instead of the keyboard for inputType="numbers". I want it to close/hide instead.

I can not do something like getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN) for the Activity in the background, because i need a keyboard there as well.

Does anyone know how to handle this Samsung specific problem?

I have no Samsung device to test my code, but I'm using the WindowToken from the EditText to hide the SoftKeyboard. My Code looks like this:

View focused = getCurrentFocus();
if (focused != null) {
    InputMethodManager iM = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    iM.hideSoftInputFromWindow(focused.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Hope it works :)

Use this code 

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager=(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
