You are doing it wrong. This is what the Doc says:

Note: do not count on this method being called as a place for saving data! [...] There are situations where the system will simply kill the activity's hosting process without calling this method (or any others) in it, so it should not be used to do things that are intended to remain around after the process goes away.
