I had the same error. And what I've found out is that it will be enough to cancel the alert dialog in onStop(). Try this peace of code in onStop(): if(dialog != null) dialog.cancel();

Your Activity where this dialog should be seen is not active , or maybe in manifest you set a property noHistory of current activity to true

why addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) it will close all Acitivties opened before. If you have pretend the activity's theme to be a dialog, just use it as an Activity. If there is an AlertDialog Object, then call alert.dismiss().

that is android's typical problem.

the goal to solve the problem is, show or hide dialog between activity's on Resume() and onPause()

like this

boolean isShown = false;
public void onResume()
{
   isShown = true;
   ...
}

public void onPause()
{
   isShown = false;
   ...
}

public void showDialog()
{
   if(isShown)
   {
      ...
   }
}
