Again, that is normal behavior. When the user comes back to your app, the last activity that was visible to the user will be shown. If your app's process wasn't killed, that last activity is just shown. If your app's process was killed, then that last-activity will be re-created first. The fact that the process was killed or not is transparent to the end-user. This is for default launch-modes of your activities. You can change this behavior (somewhat) by modifying your activities' launch-modes/ properties in the manifest file.
