Books and documentation cannot possibly cover the infinite variations of applications and the ways that they are assembled. > My question is:does getIntent() represent the argument of the intent that > originally started the activity I would phrase it as the one that originally created the activity. > or does it reflect intent in the system that > are forcing an activity to come to the foreground? No. I think that you will be called with onNewIntent() in this case, instead of onCreate(), and the Intent supplied to onNewIntent() will be the one used by your startActivity() from the BroadcastReceiver. I have not tried this in conjunction with a BroadcastReceiver and FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK -- at least not recently -- and so I am not 100% certain about onNewIntent() for your scenario. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
