Ok I get it!!!! this is to do with (I think) how two *innocent* intents could be deemed the same even if they are different owing to their *extras".
The uniqueness of intents when dealing with pending intents does not take into account the "EXTRAS" but it does take into account the "data" portion. And hence the following code simulating this uniqueness by converting an intent with extras first to a string (which will include the extras as appended string) and then set that unique string as data URI. :) I get it. Hope this helps another **easily baffled**.
