You could have Activity A start Activity B and after starting B calling finish(). Then have B, perhaps as the result of a button press, start a new instance of A. Of course, finish() won't result in onSaveInstanceState being called, which I believe is when a configuration change (because naturally after the screen rotates you want the user to see the same web page or whatever as they say before the screen rotation). You can cause the emulator to change orientation and do the same thing, see the emulator docs for more information on this.
What are you trying to accomplish though?
