What are you actually trying to do? I doubt this parameter is what you want -- it is used to defeat the default behavior of resetting an application's task state after the device has been asleep for a certain amount of time. That is, it will have -no- impact on the behavior of your application unless you put the emulator to sleep for that amount of time (I believe 30 minutes) and then launch it from home.
If you are -always- returning back the initial screen of your app when returning from home, that indicates some other problem in how you have structure your app. This might be useful information to help understand what is going on: http://code.google.com/android/intro/appmodel.html Some common things to watch out for: - Don't use android:singleTask (unless you understand what that is and really actually do want everything it implies). - Don't use Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK (unless you understand what that is and really actually do want everything it implies). The above referenced doc has information on these as well.
