title: How can I manually trigger my Android onPause() method to test it?
body: <p>I would like to manually test that the Android app I am writing works correctly when paused. <strong>What can I do through the Android GUI to cause the <code>onPause()</code> method to be called without causing <code>onStop()</code> to also be called?</strong> </p>
  
  <p>I've tried pulling down the notification bar and receiving a phone call, but neither causes <code>onPause()</code> to be called.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to find a non-programatic solution that works for multiple versions of Android through the GUI, with or without phones, because I am teaching a class full of students using different devices.</p>
  
  <p>Note that I am not asking how to tell <em>if</em> my <code>onPause()</code> method is called. I am asking what I can to do cause it to be called, without modifying my application.</p>
