I wasn't able to solve this problem as I have a suspicion that this might be a bug specific to 4.4.* devices. As an alternative, I replaced my use of the TaskStackBuilder with creating my activities via PendingIntent.getActivities. In my case, this provided equivalent functionality and it was a straightforward replacement. Perhaps you might find it useful as well.

final Intent parentIntent = new Intent(context, ParentActivity.class);
parentIntent.putExtra(ParentActivity.EXTRA, extraValue);

final Intent childIntent = new Intent(context, ChildActivity.class);
childIntent.putExtra(ChildActivity.EXTRA, extraChildValue);
childIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

final Intent[] intents = new Intent [] {parentIntent, childIntent};
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivities(context, INTENT_REQUEST_CODE, intents, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

pendingIntent.send();
