I'm creating the Handler in my Activity, so each time the activity is started it creates a new Handler. The issue is that when the activity is destroyed and created again, the Handler in the destroyed activity still receives some messages. So, am I doing something wrong? Ideally I think I should be destroying the handler in the activity's onDestroy, but there doesn't appear to be any way of doing that as far as I can tell.
