I would like to launch an activity (say abc) in a different task every time I launch the activity with flag_new_task.
How do i set a different affinity to the activity each time I launch it.
thanks,

If you set both the flags
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASKandIntent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASKwhen launching the activity, then Android will create a new task every time you do it.BIG WARNING
HOWEVER, if you create many tasks like this using the same activity, there is no way for the user to return to a specific task by long-pressing on the HOME button. You need to make sure that you don’t confuse the user when you do this.
