i did a global search for NEW_TASK, singleInstance and singleTask - couldn't find it anywhere - so I'm definitely not using any of those three.
so from what you're saying, I've got two tasks; the second time I pressed the app icon, it created a new task, leaving the old task in the background. If I always wanted to try and connect to an existing task if it existed (which I would think be the case for most applications??) then I could use singleTask, right? tia.
