in your case you can add: alertbox.dismiss()

when you call finish() it is on the whole activity not just the dialog

EDIT:

  public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
                Intent menu = new Intent("nik.trivia.MENU");
                startActivity(menu);

                arg0.dismiss();
                finish();

or you can juste declare alertbox protected:

protected AlertDialog alertDialog

and the n you will be able to call dismis on it from everywhere

You need to call dismiss() on your AlertDialog after the user has clicked a button.

EDIT: just place this line of code:

   arg0.dismiss();

inside the onClick method.

In order to start only an instance of this activity you have to set the flag as singleTask and get the intent in the onNewIntent() method.

Edited:

Set singleTask as flag of the activity in the manifest file in order not to have many instances of the same activity and add this to your activity: 

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);   
    setIntent(intent);
    // Do here whatver you want. This method is similar to the onCreate() method.
}
