Custom tab - Custom tab functionality works only after a device restart

[Diana-Rus]

Pre-requisites:

• Have R-B set as default browser

Steps to reproduce

1. Open gmail and open a website a website through it.

Expected behavior

• The website is opened through Custom Tab.

Actual behavior

• The website is not opened through Custom Tab. The website is opened directly in the browser.

Device information

• Android device: Sony Xperia Z5 (Android 7), Samsung Galaxy S9 (Android 8)
• Reference Browser version: 1.0.2013 (Build #20831206) GV: 76.0a1-20200318041411

When custom tab works

Note:

• On the same build at some point the Custom tab was enabled, it seems that after a restart of works correctly. It did not work with by closing and opening the app nor by uninstalling and install the app again and set the default browser.
• The issue is not reproducible with Samsung Galaxy S9 (Android 8) - Custom tab is applied right after making R-B default.

I investigated this issue and found that a restart is NOT required, the issues resolves itself after a while or randomly.

The class CustomTabIntentProcessor returns false when process(Intent) is called then suddenly started returning true while debugging. (The call is triggered by IntentReceiverActivity while resolving the intent)

Testing this issue is cumbersome so I left this info if someone else decides working on it, hope this was helpful.
