What are the launch-properties of your sub-activity? Is it a 'singleTask' or 'singleInstance'? If so, the sub-activity won't report a result to your main-activity's 'onActivityResult()'.
I ask this, because i was struggling with this same issue for a while until i discovered that my sub-activity was set to 'singleTask'....
