Context子类，例如ContextImpl.java中的实现，会检查有没有设置Flag:FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK，否则会报错，这就是Application和Service中的context不可以直接启动Activity的原因。
```java
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent, Bundle options) {
warnIfCallingFromSystemProcess();
// Calling start activity from outside an activity without FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is
// generally not allowed, except if the caller specifies the task id the activity should
// be launched in. A bug was existed between N and O-MR1 which allowed this to work. We
// maintain this for backwards compatibility.
final int targetSdkVersion = getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion;
if ((intent.getFlags() & Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) == 0
&& (targetSdkVersion < Build.VERSION_CODES.N
|| targetSdkVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P)
&& (options == null
|| ActivityOptions.fromBundle(options).getLaunchTaskId() == -1)) {
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity "
+ " context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag."
+ " Is this really what you want?");
}
mMainThread.getInstrumentation().execStartActivity(
getOuterContext(), mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), null,
(Activity) null, intent, -1, options);
}
```
