If you finish your activity, that instance is gone, so you won't get the instance state. onSaveInstanceState is for restoring the activity to its previous state after the user leaves it (WITHOUT finishing it) and later returns and it needs to be restarted. Or if the configuration changes (rotation, keyboard visibility, locale, etc) so the current activity instance needs to be restarted from its saved state.
