Relaunching crashed app from home key recent app shortcut displays crash report dialog again

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Application configured with notification dialog crashes
2. Respond to the notification, fill in crash report dialog, and click OK
3. Long press home button and select the application icon to launch it again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the application to launch. Instead, the crash report dialog appears. 
 Also, the application name shows as org.acra.CrashReport... (probably 
truncated CrashReportingDialog)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ACRA 2.0.3, Droid with 2.1

Please provide any additional information below.
An option to directly open the permission dialog without first going through a 
notification would be quite desirable.

I will investigate this case to avoid the display of the dialog on application 
resume.

Regarding direct dialog display on crash, I think it's not technicaly possible. 
I've tried to work this around and never have been able to open a new dialog 
while crashing. It looks like the application process is in a special state 
where it is unable to create new UI elements. The native android crash dialog 
is started from a system process which is different from the app, and is 
running in its own application process.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Will update the wiki page, setting android:excludeFromRecents and 
android:finishOnTaskLaunch to true should solve the issue.

To be tested.

Don't use android:finishOnTaskLaunch="true", this prevents the Crash Dialog 
from opening... :-(

android:finishOnTaskLaunch="true" is good, the Crash Dialog not opening was 
because of fresh modifications to the dialog code... Sorry for the noise here 
;-)
