How do you get recently started activity to announce yourself in Android TalkBack?

How do you get recently launched activity to announce yourself in Android TalkBack?

All the documentation that I can find relates only to representations, not to actions, and these representations only communicate about themselves when touched. When changing Activity, I need to say some spoken text to tell the user where they are in the application hierarchy. Right now, every time an Activity TalkBack changes, it simply indicates the name of the application every time, which is not useful.

I tried adding contentDescription to the root Layout element in the Activities XML layout, but that does not seem to make any difference. Example:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:contentDescription="My new Activity"

Thanks in advance...
