Set android:launchMode="singleTop" on your first activity. You will then get an onNewIntent() when you are re-launched from home. There you can startActivity() for your second activity; if you want back from the second activity to skip the first, you can call finish() in the first after starting the second.
You may want to do the same thing in onCreate() (when savedState is null), to take care of the case where they launch your activity after finishing it via back.
