Facing the same problem I found out that setting android:allowTaskReparenting="false" and android:taskAffinity="" for the configuration activity will solve the problem.
To me it sounds like either NewsWidgetConfigure. Class is launching your app activity on finish() or NewsWidgetConfigure. Class IS your app and you will need to find a way to tell the activity that the request is coming from a widget (either intent extras or shared prefs?).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
