I was able to solve this for Android version >= Honeycomb:

@TargetApi(11)
protected void moveToFront() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) { // honeycomb
        final ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
        final List recentTasks = activityManager.getRunningTasks(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

        for (int i = 0; i < recentTasks.size(); i++) 
        {
               Log.d("Executed app", "Application executed : " 
                       +recentTasks.get(i).baseActivity.toShortString()
                       + "\t\t ID: "+recentTasks.get(i).id+"");  
               // bring to front                
               if (recentTasks.get(i).baseActivity.toShortString().indexOf("yourproject") > -1) {                     
                  activityManager.moveTaskToFront(recentTasks.get(i).id, ActivityManager.MOVE_TASK_WITH_HOME);
               }
        }
    }
}

you also need to add these to your manifest:
