Yes and yes (assuming you meant "last" recently used) but the point is
neither of those actions is due to HOME being pressed - this is the
lifecycle. If you were to use a quick-launching app that allowed you to
launch a new app "B" while you were still on app "A", app "A" would pause
then stop and be placed on the history stack - it has nothing to do with the
fact that the activity coming up happens to be the Home app. In fact,
playing with my N1 with 2.3.4 shows that the *current* activity is place on
the history stack as soon as it's brought up, not when you go away from it.
