Yes. This is intentional. That way you can handle 'activation of 
service' in one central place unrelated to whether the process was just 
started or whether the process was already running.

A typical applications processes the passed command line arguments and 
opens these arguments as document. 'newInstance()' is the right place  
to handle such things. If 'newInstance' wouldn't be called for the 
first instance you would have to duplicate this code in 'main()'. 
That's undesired.
