Fix Android deep link push notifications causing app restart in foreground#366
Conversation
…round When the app is in the foreground and receives an Intercom push notification with a deep link, the app was unexpectedly restarting (showing splash screen) before navigating to the deep link destination. Root cause: - handleRemotePushMessage() always added the launch intent to TaskStackBuilder - getLaunchIntentForPackage() returns an intent with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK - This caused the app to restart even when already in foreground Solution: - Added isAppInForeground() helper method to detect app state - Only add launch intent to TaskStackBuilder when app is in background/killed - When app is in foreground, use empty TaskStackBuilder for direct navigation Changes: - Modified android/src/newarch/IntercomModule.java - Modified android/src/oldarch/IntercomModule.java - Added ActivityManager and Context imports - Added isAppInForeground() private static method - Updated handleRemotePushMessage() to check app state Benefits: - Foreground: Deep links navigate directly without app restart - Background/Killed: Behavior unchanged, app launches then navigates - No breaking changes, maintains backward compatibility
