Thank you for the information.  It helped answer my first few
questions, but I don't believe FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK is what I
want regarding question #4.  I don't want yet another Task to be
started.  I wondered how I would resume the previously running task,
but rather than resume at the point I just left off, I want it to
actually add Activity B1 (the root Activity) onto the stack.  I am not
going to do this in my app, I just wondered if it was possible.

Very simply, I essentially want to be able to have two navigation
stacks in my application, rather than define a separate Application
for each of the Tasks I want my user to participate in.  My
application is very industry specific, and the user has to log-in to
gain access.  Once they're logged in, they would like to be able to
view data in different categories in drill-down fashion.  Therefore, I
want the user to be able to navigate to a new task for each data
category, and then drill down into the details on that data in a
separate back/navigation stack.  I could do this by supplying
different Applications for each data category, but that seems like a
kludge.  I want to have a single login process, and I don't want the
user to access any data before login.  I know that I can define a
Login Service, and all the "Applications" could play nicely with that,
but I just like the concept of having one Launcher Icon.
