Get pending intent extra in activity with launcher flag

Question

In my app I show notification in some cases and when user click on notification it navigate to app by this code:

Intent onNotificationClicked = new Intent(G.context, MainActivity.class);
onNotificationClicked.putExtra("DO", "clicked");
onNotificationClicked.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
onNotificationClicked.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
PendingIntent ponNotificationClicked = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 113, onNotificationClicked, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
this.contentIntent = ponNotificationClicked;

now in my MainActivity I want to get extras of this intent.but that is unavailable because this intent does not make a new activity and just bring the launched activity to front.so how can I handle this kind of intent in my app.

thank you

set the intent flag like below such that it will not create new activity intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP); — Shiva, Dec 17 '15 at 18:05
And you can use intent.putExtra and getExtra methods as it is... — Shiva, Dec 17 '15 at 18:08

I found the answer:

set in manifest in your activity:

android:launchMode="singleTask"

and then for your pending intent you should to set like this:

Intent onNotificationClicked = new Intent(G.context, MainActivity.class);
onNotificationClicked.putExtra("DO", "clicked");
PendingIntent ponNotificationClicked = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 113, onNotificationClicked, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
this.contentIntent = ponNotificationClicked;

and now in your activity override onNewIntent and in it writ your function:

 @Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {

    String action = intent.getStringExtra("DO");

    if (action != null) {
        Log.d("this is creating", "shiva said right");
        mSlidingLayout.setPanelState(SlidingUpPanelLayout.PanelState.EXPANDED);

    }
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
}
