Hi. I noticed something similar while developing for android...that is: when I start the app from eclipse (either "debug as", or "run as") launching Activity 1, then go to Activity 2, then press Home, and then restart the app, I see that Activity 1 is shown (while Activity 2 should be on top of the stack). If I press "back" I get my running Activity 2... To avoid that, when the app starts, the first thing I do is "quit" (by pressing "back"). Then I start the app again (Activity 1), launch Activity 2, then press Home, and restart...I get correctly Activity 2...
I really don't know why it happens (I noticed that also when starting apps downloaded from the Market, and launched directly from the notification status bar). Btw I didn't specify any launch mode (singleTask, singleInstance, etc..). Maybe you should try removing that too.. Ciao!
