OK, thank you. We can't use fragments because we need API level 7
support. I'll look at the Activity re-ordering flags.

But can you tell me if there is a separate history for Task switching
(from my empirical testing there is), and whether or not that task
switching history can overflow (like Activity stack can), or whether
Android prevents it from overflowing by dropping old history?
