If you want to use onCreateDialog(), try this class. It works pretty well for me...

public class ImmersiveDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {

    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
                .setTitle("Example Dialog")
                .setMessage("Some text.")
                .create();

        // Temporarily set the dialogs window to not focusable to prevent the short
        // popup of the navigation bar.
        alertDialog.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE);

        return alertDialog;

    }

    public void showImmersive(Activity activity) {

        // Show the dialog.
        show(activity.getFragmentManager(), null);

        // It is necessary to call executePendingTransactions() on the FragmentManager
        // before hiding the navigation bar, because otherwise getWindow() would raise a
        // NullPointerException since the window was not yet created.
        getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();

        // Hide the navigation bar. It is important to do this after show() was called.
        // If we would do this in onCreateDialog(), we would get a requestFeature()
        // error.
        getDialog().getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
            getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView().getSystemUiVisibility()
        );

        // Make the dialogs window focusable again.
        getDialog().getWindow().clearFlags(
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
        );

    }

}

To show the dialog, do the following in your activity...

new ImmersiveDialogFragment().showImmersive(this);
