But he didn't say he wanted to destroy A. He said "A should be sent to background[sic]". So your proposal, good though it is, might not be the right answer. That is why I am saying he has to study http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#lcycles so that he has the background to no longer confuse 1) what he wants to do with 2) how it is best done. For it is clear that he really does not understand how to design Activities to work well with Android lifecycle management. He is asking for how to do the wrong things.
After all, maybe he should go ahead and do it your way, destroying A. In fact, this is likely, even if it does force him to rethink his design. But if he really does require A to go to the background, then he will have to start up B some other way, such as sending it an Intent. But then when SHOULD he destroy A? It has to be done sometime, but we can't say when. If he doesn't have a good answer to this question either, then that is another strong hint that he should go ahead and do it your way, destroying A and recreating it when needed.
