Title: activity lifecycle calls must be synchronous

Strange things happen if the Android Activity lifecycle calls (onCreate, onResume, onCreateOptionsMenu, etc. ) are async: the calls into Javascript happen much later than they should - sometimes disastrously later. For example, if a window is created and opened as the screen is locked, Android will quickly cycle through create, start, resume, pause, stop - and I have seen window.activity.onResume, onCreateOptionsMenu etc called after the activity was stopped! This of course creates issues if the code tries to do something with the activity when the activity's state is inappropriate for the action. This should be merged into master as well as 3_4_X
