Isn't that the same model that is used on the Desktop?Launching an app usually puts you in a clean state, but switching back to a running instance (Alt/Cmd+Tab) brings you to the screen of the app you were most recently on.That makes perfect sense to me.
Actually now that I learned about android:clearTaskOnLaunch [use in contacts<http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Contacts.git;a=blob;f=AndroidManifest.xml;h=71a90eb3b6f4d1a7285a462d0965aeb6660506ca;hb=HEAD#l149>] here, I can finally try to get my app to behave like I would expect it to. This discussion is very enlightening.
