Well, as you'll read in the docs, it's during onSaveInstanceState() that you save the state that will be restored when your app is restarted due being killed by the OS.
The saving you do in onPause() is the normal kind of saving you do; saving the user's inputs and the like. The kind of saving you do in onSaveInstanceState() has more to do with the inner workings of the app. And example that I've found is the need to save the item that user has selected in a Context Menu. Although things appear correct, if you haven't saved the item that the context menu pertains to, your code isn't going to work.
