Mark, thanks for the pointers. When I said onStop() and onDestroy() don't get called, all I know is I overrode them, set breakpoints inside them, and I never hit those breakpoints. In any case, your solution worked perfectly.
The reason for all this is as an exercise I'm doing a rough reimplementation of AlarmClock with some tweaks and they use PreferencesActivity for each alarm's settings just for its nice layout of per alarm settings but they never actually use the preferences that get set, they just handle the On* events and instantly apply to their content provider for alarms. I'm not at the point where I have implemented the content provider yet so I want to pass updated variables back to the main activity using extras. (Just in case you were wondering). It has been an interesting exercise anyway.
