The answer is that singleTask and singleTop are working as intended.
Basically, you're overthinking what you need to do. Don't use
singleTask for your base Activity, just add the following intent-
filter to the activity you're using singleTop with.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
This filter means that your single top activity will be able to
respond to an Intent from the HOME screen. In fact, my guess is that
you don't even need singleTop. If you always expect that people would
be sending the Intent to start the second activity with the NEW_TASK
flag sent, then this isn't really an issue. Also, if you only expect
that people will get back to your second activity via the home screen,
singleTop is unnecessary because Intents from the home screen always
have the NEW_TASK flag set.
Moral of the story: beware premature optimization, try the defaults
*first*, then search for solutions if they don't work.
