What you are seeing is the normal user interaction. The user is not aware the process has been killed, so they expect to return to the app in the way they last saw it.
alwaysRetainTaskState is a totally separate thing, and allows you to turn off a facility where if the user hasn't been in your app for a while, upon returning to it its task can be reset. This is independent of whether or not its process needs to be restarted.
