title: Android 4.4.2 - java.lang.RuntimeException: Performing stop of activity that is not resumed
body: <p>I'm getting this exception on a 4.4.2 device. Not reproducible on Android 4.3 device or lower.</p>
  
  <p>Setup is I have a home activity (subclass of support <code>ActionBarActivity</code>). The home activity checks a boolean flag, and if true, launches a splash screen activity (yes, ideally the splash comes before the home activity, but let's assume I can't change it to work that way for now).</p>
  
  <p>The splash screen is launched with <code>startActivityForResult</code>, it downloads some config options from the server, then finishes and returns the result back to the home activity.</p>
  
  <p>Weird thing is this works fine on 4.3 and below, but on 4.4 devices, I get the above exception (full stack trace):</p>

  <p>Based on the above, it looks like onStop (because I launch the splash activity on onCreate) is called before onResume for the Home Activity.</p>
  
  <p>Why is this now causing problems in 4.4.x?</p>
