App exits instead of going to next activity

I am calling an activity through a simple intent:

Intent startNewActivityOpen2 = new Intent(this, TransitionLandscape.class);
if (extras != null) {
        if (!extras.isEmpty()) {

           startNewActivityOpen2.putExtras(extras);
        }
}

startActivity(startNewActivityOpen2);

Does it matter that this current activity is also TransistionLandscape.class? The app exits (without crashing) when I start the new activity. Going through the debugger, the new activity is never called: (onCreate in is never called)

From the documentation, it seems that an activity can call itself.

Also, calling:

recreate() 

instead of going to new activity, also causes app to exit (without a crash).

EDIT: Manifest

        <activity
        android:name=".TransitionLandscape"
        android:configChanges="orientation"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
    </activity>

Actually, any activity that I call after TransitionLandscape causes the app to exit. Is it a memory problem?
