Clear Task and New Task Flags on Launching Activity From Deeplink

Question

I need my deep link activity is launched with flags FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK on launching from deeplinks.

The idea is to clear all existing activities and start a new one.

Is this possible with android:lauchMode parameter?

Answer 1

Try this

Intent i = new Intent(mContext, MainActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);

or

 android:launchMode="singleTask"
