If the user follows this workflow, I add an extra to the Intent\'s Extr

While @Andrew's answer may provide a means for removing a specific Intent extra, sometimes it is necessary to clear ALL of the intent extras and, in this case, you will want to use

Intent.replaceExtras(new Bundle())

Source code of replaceExtras:

/**
 * Completely replace the extras in the Intent with the given Bundle of
 * extras.
 *
 * @param extras The new set of extras in the Intent, or null to erase
 * all extras.
 */
public @NonNull Intent replaceExtras(@NonNull Bundle extras) {
    mExtras = extras != null ? new Bundle(extras) : null;
    return this;
}
