+1. Actually I'm confused by the concept of activities as a whole: On
one hand, there are libraries now for reacting to activity switching.
On the other hand, activities are said to include running
applications, so apps will be closed when switching to a different
activity. That seems contradictory.

That makes it difficult for me to see where power profiles come into
this game: Does this mean that when I want to switch to a different
profile, does this mean that I have to create a new activity when I
want to change to a different power profile, which would mean that all
running applications would close because they belong to the previous
activity?
