clearTaskOnLaunch means that your entire task will be reset when the user re-launches it from home (like the settings app does), so if that isn't happening regardless of whether you are currently in an e-mail activity that is a bigger problem.l
Am I to assume from your attributes here that this activity is a "front dore" activity that doesn't display or do anything, but just launches the "real" activity of your app? If not, using finishOnTaskLaunch and noHistory is really questionable. If it is, consider making this one the NoDisplay theme (and then don't worry about setting a forced orientation on it since it will never be seen).
