For the OI Notepad (which is based on Google's sample notepad application), we set the intent action manually from INSERT to EDIT, once it has been created. This way, it is not inserted multiple times on screen orientation changes.
http://code.google.com/p/openintents/source/browse/trunk/NotePad/src/org/openintents/notepad/NoteEditor.java I don't know if this is the cleanest way of doing things though, because we have to keep additional state information that the note was originally inserted... There may be a more elegant way to achieve the same result.
