I encounter the same problem, too.

There's no need to use a transparent activity to send a recognition intent.
Like the answer of zorglub76

Intent voiceIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
voiceIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
voiceIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Speech recognition demo");
voiceIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
voiceIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS_PENDINGINTENT, resultsPendingIntent);

The recognition result will just be in the extra of the resultingPendingIntent
So all you need to do is:

In ResultsActivity.onCreate()

ArrayList voiceResults = this.getIntent().getExtras().getStringArrayList(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);

Be care of the NullPointerException, and you'll get the result from the ArrayList!!
