I found out what was happening. I had a global deactivate handler (I don't
want this particular app running in the background). Apparently, this gets
called by Android when switching orientation. The whole app de-activates,
then re-activates in a new orientation. So, handling that, fixed my
app disappearing issue. It was disappearing because I was killing it :)
Thanks for talking this through.
