Intent from notification does not have extras

Question

This seem to be a common problem and I went through all the related questions I could find already: Activity isn't picking up new intent, Why extra data (integer) is not

Answer 1

1. If not needed then avoid setting your activity in manifest as a single task. omit this line or change it to singleTop if you can:

     android:launchMode="singleTask”
   

2. If you must have a single task then in pending intent set flags to : Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK And PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT.

   resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
   pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, resultIntent,    PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT );
   

3. If you have a single task - Reset your extras in your activity inside onNewIntent() by setIntent(intent);

   protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
          setIntent(intent);
          ... 
    }
