Android Question Resume app to the right activity.

[Victor jung]

Hello, I am building a two activities app, the main activity, allows to set few parameters, and to start the second one, called ingame, and this one is a game.
When I go out of the app during the game, would love to come back to ingame activity when I return to the app, but it always resume on the main activity. I tried to work around by starting the ingame activity inside the the main resume sub , it kind of works but I got really weird behavior. When resumed, when I click any button from ingame, the app pause immediately to return to my phone desktop.... So what is the proper way to do this ?
Thank you very much.

Make sure to test it in Release mode.

This is handled automatically by the OS. If the user clicks on the home button and later opens your app from the recent apps manager then it should show the last activity.

Ok thank you that works well with the recent apps manager!

But I am also trying, to use an ongoing notification to go back to the app easily, that works well, but when the app is killed in the recent app manager, the notification doesnt disapear... how to do so? Also is it possible to add a exit button in a notification?

how to do so?

It is not possible. The process is immediately killed.

Also is it possible to add a exit button in a notification?

Thank you for the reply, but does that mean that once displayed an outgoing notification will never disappear?

You can remove it when your app starts again (for example if the user clicks on the notification).

You can also use a foreground service and then your app will not be killed.
