What happens to android app when a phone call interrupts the app?

Issue

I am working on an app and in one of my activities I display a progressdialog. I have managed it so that it displays correctly during rotations, and I thought that would handle the case of a phone call too, but when I test it with a phone call the dialog goes away. So what exactly does the phone call do to the application and how is a part of the application lifecycle?

Solution

onPause and onStop are called, onDestroy may be called but you can't rely on it.
