This looks like a valid application lifecycle, you put your app to background, android is then allowed to destroy your app. onDestroy is not guaranteed to be called, you have to be prepared for that, as you say onPause is called so you can use it. Why it happens only once after install is hard to explain, but in my opinion you should not actually care about it and prepare your app to be killed any time it is in background.
