Utility class for constructing synthetic back stacks for cross-task navigation on Android 3.0 and newer.

TaskStackBuilder provides a backward-compatible way to obey the correct conventions around cross-task navigation on the device's version of the platform. On devices running Android 3.0 or newer, calls to the startActivities() method or sending the PendingIntent generated by getPendingIntent(int, int) will construct the synthetic back stack as prescribed. On devices running older versions of the platform, these same calls will invoke the topmost activity in the supplied stack, ignoring the rest of the synthetic stack and allowing the back key to navigate back to the previous task.
