Want to know the package name of app clicked from android sharesheet

Question

I want to know the package name of app clicked from android sharsheet. Developer.android.com says to use a pending with Intent.createchooser. And we can get package name in onReceive method of broadcast receiver that we use in pending Intent. My Main Activity only has a button that starts a sharing intent and opens android sharesheet.

package com.upstox.android.shubhampoc

import android.app.PendingIntent
import android.content.Intent
import android.content.IntentFilter
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.upstox.android.shubhampoc.databinding.ActivityMainBinding
import com.upstox.android.shubhampoc.share.SharingNotificationReceiver

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private var _binding: ActivityMainBinding? = null
    private val binding get() = checkNotNull(_binding)

    private val sharingNotificationReceiver = SharingNotificationReceiver()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        _binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)
        setClickListeners()
    }

    override fun onStart() {
        super.onStart()
        registerReceiver(sharingNotificationReceiver, IntentFilter())
    }

    override fun onStop() {
        super.onStop()
        unregisterReceiver(sharingNotificationReceiver)
    }

    private fun setClickListeners() {
        binding.btnShare.setOnClickListener {
            val sendIntent: Intent = Intent().apply {
                action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
                putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sharing from a POC App")
                type = "text/plain"
            }
            val receiveIntent = Intent(applicationContext, SharingNotificationReceiver::class.java)
            receiveIntent.putExtra("check", "value received")

            val pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
                applicationContext,
                25,
                receiveIntent,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE
            )

            val shareIntent =
                Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Share Text", pendingIntent.intentSender)
            startActivity(shareIntent)
        }
    }
}

Here is my Broadcast receiver.

package com.upstox.android.shubhampoc.share

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver
import android.content.ComponentName
import android.content.Context
import android.content.Intent
import android.content.Intent.EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT

class SharingNotificationReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
    override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
        val clickedComponent : ComponentName? = intent?.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT);
        println("shubhamnoti intent : $clickedComponent")
        println("shubhamnoti intent : ${intent?.getStringExtra("check")}")
    }
}

And my android.manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.upstox.android.shubhampoc">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
        android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.ShubhamPOC"
        tools:targetApi="31">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.ShubhamPOC.NoActionBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <receiver
            android:name=".share.SharingNotificationReceiver"
            android:exported="false">
        </receiver>
    </application>
</manifest>

The problem I am facing is I am getting Intent.extras as null in broadcast receiver. Is there a way to get the clicked app component name from android sharesheet.

I am expecting the component name of app clicked from android sharesheet. But Intent.extras is null in broadcast receiver and if i pass a custom extra just for checking then intent.extras has only that custom extra in it.

To be precise i am expecting override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) { ... val clickedComponent : ComponentName = intent.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT); } as mentioned in android documentation.
