Obvious this is not normal, since it works well in other applications.  You
have not supplied *any* information about what you are doing that may be of
interest, so nobody can do anything but make wild guesses about what you
are doing.  So here are some wild guesses:

- Don't launch it with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.
- Don't use android:launchMode="singleInstance" in your manifest.
