If it's the case that you need to show your message from anywhere, at any point, then I would agree with Kris that should just use a notification. Also, are you using showDialog(), managing the Dialogs yourself, or using the new DialogFragments? That might make a difference. I know I always use showDialog() and I have one situation where a dialog is shown delayed based on a network call. If I move to a secondary Activity before it shows, then come back, it's there waiting for me if the first Activity shows it while I was in the second. Perhaps you're managing things yourself and have a bug where you leak the dialogs?

They don't show from Services or my custom Application class.
