onStart gets called during the initial startup. onRestart does not, it's strictly for the "went away and came back" case.

Using it instead onStart / onResume would depend on how the code is structured, the motivation being, to not repeat any time-consuming operations that were already done in onCreate during the normal activity startup sequence.

Is there a benefit to this over just using onStart(), which will also be called in this scenario?
Just curious as I've never found a reason to use this particular method.
