Be sure you read app fundamentals, especially about tasks: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#acttask
The entity launching the intent (the status bar) is not part of a task, so it is starting an activity outside of a task, so the system forces the NEW_TASK flag on the intent because there is nothing else it could do. The only reason you would not be seeing onCreate() is if your activity is already running. To deal with this, you should make your activity android:launchMode="singleTop" and you will receive the intent in onNewIntent. Also you most likely want to use PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT when creating the pending intent.
