Don't modify that Intent. It is maintained for you by the system, and the original Intent will be restored whenever the activity is restarted.
Also don't use setIntent(). My arm was twisted to have that added. I should have pushed back harder. :) It is likely to only result in subtle bugs (like this one here).
