Is ondestroy not always called?

by

From Android developer documentation:

protected void onDestroy ()

Added in API level 1 Perform any final cleanup before an activity is
destroyed. This can happen either because the activity is finishing
(someone called finish() on it, or because the system is temporarily
destroying this instance of the activity to save space. You can
distinguish between these two scenarios with the isFinishing() method.

Note: do not count on this method being called as a place for saving
data! For example, if an activity is editing data in a content
provider, those edits should be committed in either onPause() or
onSaveInstanceState(Bundle), not here. This method is usually
implemented to free resources like threads that are associated with an
activity, so that a destroyed activity does not leave such things
around while the rest of its application is still running. There are
situations where the system will simply kill the activity’s hosting
process without calling this method (or any others) in it, so it
should not be used to do things that are intended to remain around
after the process goes away.

You can move your code to onPause() or onStop()
