It depends. It will return true as soon as the framework knows it is on its way to finishing. If you call finish() it will be set after that, but your activity may be pretty much anywhere in its lifecycle when it is told to finish -- resumed, started, etc.
For freeing resources in your code, you generally do this in onPause(), onStop(), or onDestroy() (dependent on the semantics you want), NOT dependent on whether isFinishing() is set. The code you have here will leak, for example, if the activity is being restarted due to a configuration change.
