Bluetooth permission request dialog - recreated on screen rotation(orientation change)


I have used the following code for enabling Bluetooth (as described here) and the same runs in onCreate() of the launcher activity of my app -

Intent enableIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableIntent, 101);

Now the problem is when this dialog is popped up, then every time i rotate the device, the dialog gets created again again on top of the previously created dialog.

I am preventing my activity from getting recreated by handling it from manifest

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"

This doesn't occur in all devices I am getting this on : LG Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy Grand

And not on : Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4
