isServiceRunning returning true even when it isn't

[Red-Folder]

From Luigi;

Something strange in

    if (appClassName != null) {
        //if (AppHelper.isServiceRunning(context, appClassName)) {
        //    Log.d(TAG, appClassName + " already running");
        //} else {
            Log.d(TAG, appClassName + " starting");
            AppHelper.startActivity(context, appClassName);
        //}
    }

I had to comment out as per above because it was telling me the app was running.

Anyway it should not arm if it gets restarted even if already on (at least as long as manifest contains "singleistance".

The other positive effect is that it brings in foreground the app, which again is a wanted behaviour...

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html recommends against using singleInstance.

I'll have a look at the existing code so that it works to only allow once instance (maybe make that a configurable option). Assuming developer only wants a single instance:

If activity already running
   bring activity to front
else
   start activity

Hi Marc, any chance to implement the bring to front activity?
For some reason the latest cordova (4.2.0) +android (3.6.4) does start multiple instances despite the directive "singleTask" so I'm back to trying "just" bringing to front the activity.
