I don't think the timeout has anything to do with it. I set my count
down to 9 seconds and I don't get the timeout message in the log, but
the screen still goes black and the explosion plays in the correct
time. Any idea why the screen goes black. Also after the sound plays
it returns to the MainActivity like it suppose too, so I think I am
not doing something right when going to the CountDown activity.

12-30 03:27:48.551: INFO/ActivityManager(53): Starting activity:
Intent { comp={com.android.myapp/com.android.myapp.CountDown} (has
extras) }
12-30 03:27:57.860: INFO/ActivityManager(53): Displayed activity
com.android.fart/.CountDown: 9304 ms
