Move your code to onResume

@Override
protected void onResume()
{
    super.onResume();
    MyMethod();
}

Check the activity lifecycle

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html

protected void onResume ()

Called after onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle), onRestart(), or onPause(), for your activity to start interacting with the user. This is a good place to begin animations, open exclusive-access devices (such as the camera), etc.

Keep in mind that onResume is not the best indicator that your activity is visible to the user; a system window such as the keyguard may be in front. Use onWindowFocusChanged(boolean) to know for certain that your activity is visible to the user (for example, to resume a game).

Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.
