title: android parent activity killed on startActivity
body: <p>I have a simple application with a listview. When a user taps on a list item, i start a new activity</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intent eventdetails = new Intent(HomeActivity.this,EventDetailsActivity.class);
  eventdetails.putExtra("eventId", ev.getId());
  eventdetails.putExtra("eventDate", ev.getEnglishDate());
  startActivity(eventdetails);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As soon as the EventDetailsActivity is started, the HomeActivity is destroyed (onDestroy is called). WHen the user hits the back button from EventDetailsActivity, the HomeActivity is recreated which is something i do not want.</p>
  
  <p>I havent been able to figure out why the HomeActivity is killed in the first place. I checked the activity stack using udb as well and it does not show the HomeActivity</p>
  
  <pre><code>Running activities (most recent first):
  Run #0: ActivityRecord{43938cc8 com.app.event/.EventDetailsActivity}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is happening only on Samsung Galaxy Note 2</p>
  
  <p>Any idea why this would be happening ? </p>
