<activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale" android:label="@string/activity_name" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="MainActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <data android:scheme="myAppName" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

> 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."
