Fragment onResume() & onPause() is not called on backstack

The fragments onResume() or onPause() will be called only when the Activities onResume() or onPause() is called. They are tightly coupled to the Activity.

Read the Handling the Fragment Lifecycle section of this article.

• Since you have used ft2.replace(), FragmentTransaction.remove() method is called and the Loginfragment will be removed. Refer to this. So onStop() of LoginFragment will be called instead of onPause(). (As the new fragment completely replaces the old one).
• But since you have also used ft2.addtobackstack(), the state of the Loginfragment will be saved as a bundle and when you click back button from HomeFragment, onViewStateRestored() will be called followed by onStart() of LoginFragment. So eventually onResume() won't be called.

Here's my more robust version of Gor's answer (using fragments.size()is unreliable due to size not being decremented after fragment is popped)

getFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onBackStackChanged() {
            if (getFragmentManager() != null) {

                Fragment topFrag = NavigationHelper.getCurrentTopFragment(getFragmentManager());

                if (topFrag != null) {
                    if (topFrag instanceof YourFragment) {
                        //This fragment is being shown. 
                    } else {
                        //Navigating away from this fragment. 
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    });

And the 'getCurrentTopFragment' method:

public static Fragment getCurrentTopFragment(FragmentManager fm) {
    int stackCount = fm.getBackStackEntryCount();

    if (stackCount > 0) {
        FragmentManager.BackStackEntry backEntry = fm.getBackStackEntryAt(stackCount-1);
        return  fm.findFragmentByTag(backEntry.getName());
    } else {
        List<Fragment> fragments = fm.getFragments();
        if (fragments != null && fragments.size()>0) {
            for (Fragment f: fragments) {
                if (f != null && !f.isHidden()) {
                    return f;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return null;
}
