I guess it's because Activity#dismissDialog does not remove the dialog from the list of managed dialogs. Use Activity#removeDialog to do that from Activity#removeDialog source: "Removes any internal references to a dialog managed by this Activity. If the dialog is showing, it will dismiss it as part of the clean up. This can be useful if you know that you will never show a dialog again and want to avoid the overhead of saving and restoring it in the future."
