Here is an use case we are trying ..
Apk .. MyEmail
main - Inbox
view - composer
view - msgview
If the above apk contains 3 activities ..
User launches the MyEmail: and sees the Inbox ..
User selects one of the messages .. thus launching the msgview
activity ..
User goes back to home .. and launches .. composer directly .. ()
Now the user must be able to switch back and forth between msgview
and composer .. Note this composer window has no association with
the Inbox-msgview ..
One possible method is to launch the MyEmail in own task and launch
another activity (eg.composer) as a separate instance .. This is what
I was trying to show in the code above ..
I did read through the 'warning' in the docs of
FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK usage. Assuming for now we use the
RecentAppsDialog(long key press) as the task switcher .. any
suggestions ?

Please please please don't use FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK unless you really
know what you are doing. At the very least, you need to read and fully
understand the material here:

I am trying to launch an activity from another activity ..
Within the com.android.SingleLauncher..
I have activity launch code as ..
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intent.setComponent(new
ComponentName(com.android.TargetSL,
com.android.TargetSL.TargetSL));
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK);
I have set the android:multiprocess=true in the AndroidManifest.xml
of TargetSL
I don't seem to see the multiple instances of TargetSL, which i am
expecting ..
All i see is 2 process, where i was hoping to see an instance of
TargetSL, for each launch that was invoked by the singleLauncher !!
