onNewIntent() not called after onResume()

Issue

Flow:

1. Open app (MainActivity)
2. Press home button ( calling onPause() in activity )

3. Starting same activity, with different intent

   Intent intent = Utils.createIntent(....., this, MainActivity.class); // this will add some extra to our intent
           intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
           startActivity(intent);
   

4. Nothing happens.

5. onCreate() gets called. (onDestroy wasn't called)

6. onResume() is called

My activity in xml

<activity
            android:name=".ui.activities.MainActivity"
            android:launchMode="singleTop"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />

NOte: if I don't press home button (app doesn't pause), onNewIntent will be called correctly.

Solution

Try to set this Flags:

intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
