Michal Mocny commented on CB-6048:
----------------------------------
The platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml setting is generated from the
default.xml setting during prepare (as are other preferences), so thats to be
expected.
That is not applying properly to AndroidManifest.xml is *not* expected. It
certainly works for me, so I'm curious if you can report your
workflow/environment first?
The reasoning behind adding it is in fact that clicking the icon from home
screen will restart your application even if it was already running. This is
not the best default, tough we should have documented it (I believe that was
left as a TODO, and slipped).

> As raised on mailing list: "[Android] Apps restart instead of resume when
> brought to focus by clicking app icon"
> "TLDR; AndroidManifest.xml <activity> needs: android:launchMode="singleTop"
> -- can I add it?
> Quick search brings up:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10122449/phonegap-android-application-restarting-instead-of-resuming-although-it-was-not
> ..which advises to add android:launchMode="singleTask" to AndroidManifest.xml
> <activity>, which does fix the issue.
> According to the descriptions in
> http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html the
> differences mostly stem in how the app handles intents, however, there is a
> comment in the table of descriptions which labels singleTask launchMode as
> "(not recommended for general use)".
> On the other hand, singleTop mode *is* recommended, and also fixes the issue,
> and according to the description, sounds to me like a much better default."
