I touch an activity, and without releasing my finger I start another activity. I expect that touch-events would go to the new activity, but they continue going to the old activity (until I release my finger and touch again). I could try to manually redirect them from the previous activity to the new one, intercepting them in onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) or dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev), but I don't get them even there. Instead, I receive these messages in the debug console:

And when I release my finger:

As debug messages suggest, I need to focus some window, but .getWindow().getDecorView().requestFocus() on new nor old activity doesn't help.
It is similar to this problem: Android tracking touch event after new activity starts, instead I can't get events even in previous activity, so I can't redirect them via EventBus to the new activity, as it was there suggested.
Please help me what should I try to do so that I could get these MotionEvents, at least on old activity?
