Below you can find implementation details;

Application.kt

 override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    Branch.getAutoInstance(this).disableTracking(true)
    ..
}

StarterActivity.kt -- Launcher activity

    override fun onStart() {
         super.onStart()
         initBranchSession(isAllowedToTrack())
    }


    private fun initBranchSession(allowedToTrack: Boolean) {
        if (allowedToTrack) {
            try {
                val callback: (referringParams: JSONObject?, error: BranchError?) -> Unit = { referringParams, error ->
                    try {
                        if (error == null) {
                            val branchUri = BranchLinkUtils.extractParametersIntoUrl(referringParams!!)
                            if (branchUri != null) {
                                overrideIntentUrl(branchUri)
                            }
                        }
                    } catch (ex: Exception) {
                        ...
                    }
                }
                if (Branch.bypassCurrentActivityIntentState()) {
                    branchDisableBypassCurrentActivityIntentState()
                }
                if (Branch.getInstance() == null) {
                    Branch.sessionBuilder(this)
                        .withCallback(callback)
                        .withData(this.intent.data)
                        .init()
                } else {
                    intent.putExtra("branch_force_new_session", true)

                    Branch.sessionBuilder(this)
                        .withCallback(callback)
                        .withData(this.intent.data)
                        .reInit()
                }

            } catch (e: Exception) {
                ...
            }
        } else if (!allowedToTrack) {
            Branch.enableBypassCurrentActivityIntentState()
            val builder = Branch.sessionBuilder(this)
            if (Branch.getInstance() == null) {
                builder.init()
            } else {
                builder.reInit()
            }
        }
    }

AnalyticsManager.kt We are disabling/enabling tracking depending on the screen user is in on Activity.onStart() like below;

    ...
    fun setAllowedLogging(isEnabled: Boolean) {
         if (!isEnabled) {
                Branch.disableInstantDeepLinking(true)
                Branch.setPlayStoreReferrerCheckTimeout(Long.MAX_VALUE)
                Branch.getAutoInstance(context.applicationContext).disableTracking(true)
            } else {
                Branch.disableInstantDeepLinking(false)
                Branch.setPlayStoreReferrerCheckTimeout(10)
                Branch.getAutoInstance(context.applicationContext).disableTracking(false)
            }
    }
    ...

build.gradle

dependencies {
  implementation "io.branch.sdk.android:library:5.0.1"
  ..
}
