Activity does not start when app is in background

Question

When application is not in foreground and startActivity is called, app does not show up with new activity. This only happens on low end devices. What can I do to make sure that the activity is started?

part of Manifest for second activity

<activity
     android:name=".OfferActivity"
     android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
     android:label="@string/title_activity_offer"
     android:launchMode="singleTop"
     android:noHistory="true"
     android:showOnLockScreen="true"/>

You say this happens on low end devices? Chances are the Activity has been destroyed to free system resources? Can you replicate the issue and put some life cycle logging in to see if this is happening — Mark, Dec 07 '16 at 08:35

Try to start the activity like this:

Intent i = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);  
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
