I suspect to have a memory leak in my "NamesListActivity"

When using MAT (memory analyser tool), I see two instances of this activity after rotating the screen a few times. I expect there to be one. As a result, lots of members are present twice as well
One of the causes could be non-static inner classes. Ive got two of those:
-IconicAdapter: a custom listview adapter, stored in a variable private to NamesListActivity,
- backReceiver: a receiver for when the back button is pressed. It is also held in a private field. It is registered in onResume and unRegistered in onPause

heap size: 9mb when activity has not been started, after rotating the screen a few times it stabilizes at 25-30mb.
The background image should be 11mb in size, so that's not dramatic.
There is a big difference. In running mode. The above happens in normal run mode (play button in eclipse)
When in debug mode, heap size increases on every screen rotation by 6 or 11 mb. Eventually this results in force close.

Do I even have a memory leak, and why are there exactly two instances of my activity? pretty sure it's started once.
