Try out this way:

 public class FirstStartDialog extends Dialog {
Context context;
 final AlertDialog.Builder alert;
public FirstStartDialog(Context p_context) {
    super(p_context);
    context = p_context;
     alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
}    
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
     View container = inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_account_dialog, null);
     final EditText editText_registration_username = (EditText)container.findViewById(R.id.etxt_User_Name);
        editText_registration_username
        .setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                 if (hasFocus) {                     ((InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE))
                 .showSoftInput(editText_registration_username,
                 InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
                 }
            }
        });
        setContentView(container);
}    }

Implement your dialog as above you will get the keyboard open.

getSysytemService not works in AlertDialog class . i use this method on Activity Reference but it not works. ((InputMethodManager)mainWindow.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)) .showSoftInput(editText_registration_password, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED); — nitin tyagi, Jan 24 '13 at 06:10
