Activity Defnition: A single screen in an application, with supporting Java code.
Activities in the system are managed as an activity stack. When a new activity is started, it is placed on the top of the stack and becomes the running activity,the previous activity always remains below it in the stack, and will not come to the foreground again until the new activity exits.

When the Activity first time loads then following events are called:
onCreate()
onStart()
onResume()

When we move to next Activity then below events called:
onPause()
onStop()

When we back from Next Activity or press back button then below events called:
onRestart()
onStart()
onResume()

When we press Device Home button, application running in background and below events called:
onPause()
onStop()

When we launch, application from background then below events called:
onRestart()
onStart()
onResume()

When we click the back button OR try to finish the activity then below events are called:
onPause()
onStop()
onDestroy()

For more detail please copy below code and check your log step by step it will give you more help-
1)MainActivity.java

package com.example.activitylifecycle;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button btnNext;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btnNext = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On Create call");
/**
* Next Button clicked
*/
btnNext.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NextPage.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});

}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStart();
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On start call");
}

@Override
protected void onRestart() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onRestart();
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On Re-start call");
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onResume();
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On resume call");
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On pause call");
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStop();
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On stop call");
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDestroy();
Log.i("Activity Life Cycle Result:", "On destroy call");
}
}

2)NextPage.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class NextPage extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.next);
