Alright, I think I resolved the issue, it was made a lot easier with your suggestion Mark. When I watched when the Activity was created I realized it was the AccountManager framework, which led me to check out an example of using it in SampleSyncAdapter (it's weird you have to use that and not a SampleCustomAccount or something like that) and the source of AccountAuthenticatorActivity. I believe the framework was hanging waiting for a response from my Activity that I just wasn't giving. I used the AccountAuthenticatorResponse and made sure to setResult before finishing the Activity, and that seems to resolve the problem.
