Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. You stash away your state in onSaveInstanceState(). You get it back in onCreate().
This is not directly related to onPause(), and definitely has nothing to do with any kind of constructor written like you show. (In fact I would strongly recommend not having a constructor at all on an Activity, it is mostly a path to what you don't want.)
