You should do either one of those two options: 1. Use TaskStackBuilder (or your own code) to construct a complete activity stack representing the state the user is going to into the app from the notification, completely replacing whatever the current task is. 2. Use android:taskAffinity to make the activity be a completely separate task from the main task of your app.
What you describe is that you are doing (1) but not actually building a complete task stack (that is, not starting multiple activities with the first being the root activity of your task).
