    <p>The no-UI Activity approach mentioned in the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10784293/570930">accepted answer</a> is what I decided on. I tried another option, but it did not work out. What I tried was this:</p> <ol> <li>In the <code>Service</code>, build an <code>Intent</code> stack with the <code>Intent</code> for <code>NewsReaderActivity</code> at the bottom of the stack and that for <code>ArticleActivity</code> at the top.</li> <li>Use <code>PendingIntent.getActivities()</code> and pass in the stack as created in Step1 to obtain <code>PendingIntent</code> representing the full stack.</li> <li><p>In <code>ArticleActivity</code>, we have the following code:</p> <pre><code>@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //... //... // If we are in two-pane layout mode, this activity is no longer necessary if (getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.has_two_panes)) { finish(); return; } //... //... } </code></pre></li> </ol> <p>So, you first target <code>ArticleActivity</code> - which does a sort of self-introspection to decide if it is useful in the current configuration. If not, it simply moves out of the way with <code>finish()</code>. Since the <code>NewsReaderActivity</code> is already present "before" <code>ArticleActivity</code> in the back-stack, this takes you to <code>NewsReaderActivity</code>.</p> <p>This seemed the perfect solution - except for one point which I had overlooked: <code>PendingIntent.getActivities()</code> only works with API 11 or above. There is a rough equivalent in the support library: <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/TaskStackBuilder.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>TaskStackBuilder</code></a>. One can go on adding Intents to the stack with <code>addNextIntent()</code>, and finally call <code>getPendingIntent()</code> to achieve something similar to <code>PendingIntent.getActivities()</code> (I assume).</p> <p>However, on pre-HC devices, this will result in only the <strong>top-most</strong> <code>Activity</code> from the stack being started in a new task (emphasis mine):</p> <blockquote> <p>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. <em>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</em>.</p> </blockquote> <p>So on pre-HC devices, pressing back from ArticleActivity will still take you back to the task that was running prior to ours. This is not what we want.</p> <p>I will probably share my project sometime soon. I was also concerned about starting fresh tasks even when I was doing intra-app notifications (for example, a "new news article" notification while I am reading an article). I'll hopefully post that as a separate question.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
