Hey Dianne, That is actually what I'm trying to do. I set the clear flag so that the app essentially starts over. But my problem is that this flag and extras info replaces the recent application list intent. So now if I go home and re-launch the app from the recent list it always clears away everything from that point on. Is there any way to create a notification that will send an intent that doesn't replace the recent app list data?
