What exactly do you mean by "second usage"? Just pressing the home key and then tapping your program icon won't create a new activity instance, unless the old one has been deleted. You can't depend on it being deleted, in fact, you'd prefer it not be.
Study the diagram in the Activity class documentation (a screen or two down): http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/app/Activity.html Note that there are paths that take you back into the activity. Depending on what exactly what data is you're getting from the server, you may want to reinitialize in onResume() or onStart(). My guess would be onStart() -- I think you probably don't want to re-fetch data just because a dialog popped up, then returned control to your Activity. Likewise, you may want to de-initialize the data (for example, null out the variable containing it) in the onStop() method, which will allow the memory to be reclaimed sooner.
