In ICS there is a Developer Option called "Don't keep activities".  If you 
check it, activities and their fragments will go through a complete cycle 
of create/destroy, which will test their ability to save and restore their 
instance states.  This is the same as if your app will killed and restored 
at each activity transition.

Older devices and emulators might have a Spare Parts app that can toggle a 
similar setting.
