Start a set of activities as a synthesized task stack, if able.
In API level 11 (Android 3.0/Honeycomb) the recommended conventions for app navigation using the back key changed. The back key's behavior is local to the current task and does not capture navigation across different tasks. Navigating across tasks and easily reaching the previous task is accomplished through the "recents" UI, accessible through the software-provided Recents key on the navigation or system bar. On devices with the older hardware button configuration the recents UI can be accessed with a long press on the Home key.
When crossing from one task stack to another post-Android 3.0, the application should synthesize a back stack/history for the new task so that the user may navigate out of the new task and back to the Launcher by repeated presses of the back key. Back key presses should not navigate across task stacks.
startActivities provides a mechanism for constructing a synthetic task stack of multiple activities. If the underlying API is not available on the system this method will return false.
| context | Start activities using this activity as the starting context |

| intents | Array of intents defining the activities that will be started. The element length-1 will correspond to the top activity on the resulting task stack. |
