Opening browser on notification click is not working on MI phones

Question

In Xiaomi phones, when I try to redirect to a browser on the click of a notification using the following code :

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
            try {
                context.startActivity(intent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
            }

Redirect is not working and it is throwing an error that "Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the
FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?".

I am

It is working fine in other phones. Can anyone help in solving this?

This happens when you call startActivity out the the activity class. use below code for your problem it will work. for reference you can see

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK clarification needed

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
 intent.setFlag(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            try {
                context.startActivity(intent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
            }

But it is working in other phones. That flag is needed only in MI phones. – Aman Kush Feb 23 '18 at 07:07
