[android-developers] Re: Which Intent Flags when setting PendingIntents in multiple app widget scenario?

FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP also seems to work. In this case, onCreate is
called instead of onNewIntent.

Unlike FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP, this helps in the situation where a
secondary activity is currently on top of the stack of that task. I
really need to make sure the main activity is displayed.

I suppose the drawback is that the activity will be reinitialised each
time.
