Hi Gil, You probably have the exactly same issue that is discussed in:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/112f3eb6b9b47d29# Like Justin said, there is no need to use singleTask, singleTop or any other special flags. It has something to do with the way Eclipse re- installs your application. If you run without using Eclipse everything should work fine. I do the following to get the correct behaviour: 1. I run my app in Eclipse using Run > Run History > myApp. The app opens up with the home activity 2. I hit the Back button. The Android home screen with the app menu is displayed 3. I start my app from the Android app menu. The app opens up with the home activity 4. From now on, it will work as expected so when I press Home in a 'secondary' activity and then restart my App again from the Android app menu it will go back to the 'secondary' activity.
