Android Question Closing PreferenceScreen

[KPmaster]

Hi all,
I manage user settings using PreferenceActivity and PreferenceScreen.
My application send/receive messages via socket, and some of those raises some alert, but if the user is looking at the Preferences no alerts are raised until the screen is closed.

How can I close it automatically when alerts are raised?

You can call StartActivity from the service and show the "alerts" activity over the preference activity. It is not possible to automatically close it.

The alerts activity is the only activity in my application. StartActivity pause the current one to resume the new one, so I don't think is useful to do it to itself.
