Support for "Don't keep activities" developer option.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Example repro
1. Turn "Don't keep activities" option on.
2. Launch test case that navigates through at least 3 activities.
3. Watch the fall.

Expected behavior
Test case passes.

Actual behavior.
Test case fails.

Since robotium relies on keeping weak references to opened activities, it may 
not be trivial (or even possible) to support this. I've seen this issue 
mentioned in several other places like
* https://code.google.com/p/robotium/issues/detail?id=586
* https://code.google.com/p/robotium/issues/detail?id=416
but without any respond.
Having this could be a really straightforward way to test activities recreation.
Any additional thoughts on this?

Anyway, IMO it's more like Enhancement than Defect.

Thanks for reporting this. This is an interesting idea. We'll explore if its 
technically possible to add a feature like this.
