android - My app doesn't show in recent apps list

I am working on an app and have just realised it doesn't show in the recent apps list.

I have 2 activities in the app and no matter which I am on when I hit the Home key, the app isn't shown in the recent apps list.

I have seen this question: SO Question but putting the category stuff in the manifest hasn't worked for me.

Below is the part of my manifest:

<application android:label="@string/app_name" >

    <service android:name=".UploadService" android:exported="false" />
    <service android:name=".DownloadService" android:exported="false" />

    <activity android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:excludeFromRecents="true"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" 
        android:name="com.test.DOHSMain" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:name="com.test.DOHSChange"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Note: I added the tag on the second activity DOHSChange just in case that would help but having that line there or not seems to do nothing.

Thanks for your time

Get rid of android:excludeFromRecents="true" from your manifest

You have android:excludeFromRecents=true in your launcher activity.
