Re: [android-developers] Re: Child activity lifetime in background
very good thought but isn't this why you should be saving your state and starting off as if you were resuming? from a user's perspective it is the right expectation and from the os perspective this is the right implementation.

Have you tried adding alwaysRetainTaskState to your Activity declaration? http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#always When this attribute is 'true', users will always return to the task in its last state, regardless of how they get there.
