guys, i am very sorry but it was my fault :| couple of days ago i decided to change the name of the package of my app and forgot to remove the old app from the phone. i didn't realize that it would cause two separate installations on my phone, the task manager displays only app name so it did look like there were two instances of the same app, in fact there was one instance of each ;) sorry about trouble and appreciate your willingness to help :)

Android documentation says:

As shown in the table below, the modes fall into two main groups, with "standard" and "singleTop" activities on one side, and "singleTask" and "singleInstance" activities on the other. An activity with the "standard" or "singleTop" launch mode can be instantiated multiple times. The instances can belong to any task and can be located anywhere in the activity stack. Typically, they're launched into the task that called startActivity() (unless the Intent object contains a FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK instruction, in which case a different task is chosen — see the taskAffinity attribute). In contrast, "singleTask" and "singleInstance" activities can only begin a task. They are always at the root of the activity stack. Moreover, the device can hold only one instance of the activity at a time — only one such task.

so it seems (though I haven't checked) that singleInstance is what you're looking for.
