try {
    startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

/* When Mic activity close */
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    case 1: {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && null != data) {
            String yourResult = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS).get(0);
        }
        break;
    }
    }
}
