I have Activity A with android:launchMode="singleTop" in the manifest.

If I go to Activity B, C and D there I have menu shortcuts to return to my applications root activity (A).

The code looks like this:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(myIntent);

However, instead of returning to the already existing instance A of my MainActivity.class it creates a new instance -> it goes to onCreate() instead of onNewIntent().

This is not the expected behavior, right?
