Generally speaking, that is not correct. The Handler and its underlying
Activity are not "cleared by the system", because you still hold
references to them. The Activity will not be on the screen, and so
whatever you do will not be visible. And, it is conceivable that you
will do something that will cause a disconnected Activity to fail with
an Exception, but you should not be relying upon that behavior.
