You haven't provided the source for your other activity, thus two questions:

 1. Does your other activity call Finish()?
 2. Does your other activity call Activity.SetResult()?

The documentation implies [0, 1] that Activity.OnActivityResult() is invoked before Activity.OnResume() [2] is invoked, which is called when the Activity may be visible to the user. Thus, Activity.OnActivityResult() can't be invoked if there is a foreground activity (i.e. it hasn't called Activity.Finish()), and the launched activity should call Activity.SetResult() unless a value of Result.Canceled is sufficient.
