Since you are extending a DialogFragment you need to call

setCancelable(false);

inside its onCreate

only setCancelable(false);

new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());

Try to put an activity there, which is in the bottom of stack(not the top)

This is the default behavior for all the Android devices, think twice before changing that because user expects it when he presses the back button.

However you can change that behavior by overriding OnBackPressed() method of the Dialog/DialogFragment class. Don't call super.OnBackPressed() inside the overridden function however that may leak memory so be careful..

   public void showAlert1(){
     MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
     AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
                    builder.setMessage(R.string.check_internet); 
                    builder.setIcon(R.drawable.tick);
                    builder.setCancelable(false);
                    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
                    alert.show();              
                }
            });

One note about that comment. You can implement a onDismiss, however it seems to require API 17 as a min. – Shygar May 25 '14 at 01:41
