OK, I've solved my problem by getting the context of the current top activity ( or at least the last one to get an *onResume()* ) and using that as my context (ctx). Now, no matter what Activity is on the screen, when the command comes in from the PC to display graphics it launches right away, even as a standard launchMode Activity.
