Android: Starting app from 'recent applications' starts it with the last set of extras used in an intent

Question

Bit of a confusing problem for me here:

I\'ve got a home screen widget which, when clicked, starts my main app Activity with a few extras put in the intent:

Answer 1

You should clear the extras from your intent after using them.

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras == null) {
    return;
}
String value1 = extras.getString("Value1");
String value2 = extras.getString("Value2");
extras.clear();
