Answer 1

I had loads of problems with this, and thought I was going crazy until I uninstalled/reinstalled my App and hey presto, the code works as per many posts on Stack Overflow. I was doing the following:

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, i, 0);

and was continually getting two versions of the App. After an uninstall on one device, and re-starting the other device everything now behaves as expected with a single instance. Hope this helps you.
