- *   <li>Navigating back from Activity B to Activity A will trigger the same events: B#onHostPause
- *       and A#onHostResume. Any subsequent events coming from Activity B, such as onHostDestroy,
- *       are ignored.
- *   <li>Navigating back from Activity A to a non-React Activity or to the home screen will trigger
- *       two events: onHostPause and onHostDestroy.
- *   <li>Navigating from Activity A to a non-React Activity B will trigger one event: onHostPause.
- *       Later, if Activity A is destroyed (e.g. because of resource contention), onHostDestroy is
- *       triggered.
