You are right that the enum has been initialized a second time. But the second time is a different process (26202 != 26607).
In other words, the first process (26202) did not see this enum being initialized twice. The process was killed and the new process had its enum initialized instead. About the intent re-delivery : This is per design of Android, so that you can save data that survives killing and restarting of your activities' processes. This is handled by the OS, not by your app's process.
