I am using Android 1.6 as I need to support all the phones which are working on that version also. And in this version or atleast for my situation its not working so. > > Are you doing anything unusual in your manifest vis a via > android:launchMode or similar settings? Yes I was using launchMode=singleTask. I actually wanted singleInstance but somehow Voice recognizer is giving a connection problem when I use singleInstance. So just to see if it is working in the way you suggested, I tried removing all the launchMode etc in manifest and just left the activity name and label. This time onStop method or the onRestart method are never ever called. But these are being called when I set finishTaskOnLaunch to true in the manifest. Thank you anyway for the help and the suggestions. I atleast got it to work to the most extent if not stopping the updates and the activity on clicking home button. > > > The other thing is that I expected my stack to be as it is and as soon > > as I open my app after hitting on home button, the activity which I > > was previously in will be opened.
