The overall mechanism looks fine @Alex but as far as I know, onTerminate() is only used in emulated environments so doesn't have much use. You program gets killed by the Android OS when it terminates on a real device so there is no reason to be worried about memory leaks and the such.

What is most important with your code is that it guarantees a single databaseHelper instance. Each instance has it's own connection to the database and problems happen when there are more than one (1) connection opened to the database in a program. Sqlite handles multiple threads using the same connection at the same time but it doesn't handle multiple connections well and data inconsistencies may occur.
