App relaunches when deeplink is clicked[Android]

[Robin Giel]

When clicking on a deeplink or redirecting the deeplink to my app to app relaunches.
I'm guessing this has to with Main.activity being called. Or getting the intent without any flags.

ionic-plugin-deeplinks/src/android/io/ionic/links/IonicDeeplink.java

Lines 52 to 77 in 0eaf00e

 public void initialize(CordovaInterface cordova, CordovaWebView webView) { 
   super.initialize(cordova, webView); 
   Log.d(TAG, "IonicDeepLinkPlugin: firing up..."); 
  
   handleIntent(cordova.getActivity().getIntent()); 
 } 
  
 @Override 
 public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) { 
   handleIntent(intent); 
 } 
  
 public void handleIntent(Intent intent) { 
   final String intentString = intent.getDataString(); 
  
   // read intent 
   String action = intent.getAction(); 
   Uri url = intent.getData(); 
   JSONObject bundleData = this._bundleToJson(intent.getExtras()); 
   Log.d(TAG, "Got a new intent: " + intentString + " " + intent.getScheme() + " " + action + " " + url); 
  
   // if app was not launched by the url - ignore 
   if (!Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(action) || url == null) { 
     return; 
   }

@RobinGiel I don't know if this is still an issue for you, but you may want to double check the Android setup documentation:
"To prevent Android from creating multiple app instances when opening deeplinks, you can add the following preference in Cordova config.xml file: <preference name="AndroidLaunchMode" value="singleTask" />"

Thanks for the reply @JacoRoos
