Because you don't want this for every app. If we had a "task switcher" at the core of the UI like the app launcher, you could make an argument for launching always restarting the app. In fact, early versions of the UI were like that. We found it to be too confusing. So we settled on a single primary way to launch/switch apps, which would reset certain apps when that is nearly always what you want. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
