+     * from the position of the GroupedTaskView (when user taps on the TaskView to start it).
+     * Technically this case should be taken care of by
+     * {@link #composeRecentsSplitLaunchAnimatorLegacy} below, but the way we launch tasks whether
+     * it's a single task or multiple tasks results in different entry-points.
      *
-     * We could manually try to animate the just the bounds for the leashes we get back, but we try
-     * to do it through TaskViewSimulator(TVS) since that handles a lot of the recents UI stuff for
-     * us.
-     *
-     * First you have to call TVS#setPreview() to indicate which leash it will operate one
-     * Then operations happen in TVS#apply() on each frame callback.
-     *
-     * TVS uses DeviceProfile to try to figure out things like task height and such based on if the
-     * device is in multiWindowMode or not. It's unclear given the two calls to startTask() when the
-     * device is considered in multiWindowMode and things like insets and stuff change
-     * and calculations have to be adjusted in the animations for that
+     * If it is null, then it will simply fade in the starting apps and fade out launcher (for the
+     * case where launcher handles animating starting split tasks from app icon)
