[Android 15] SEND intent opens a new Instance of the app, ignoring activity launch mode “singleTask”

[DinkoPetrovTinqin]

A new instance of the app is opened when I try to share a file with Android File Explorer, no matter that the launch mode of the main activity is set to “singleTask”.

Preconditions:

1. Device: Google Pixel physical devices
2. Android version: 15
3. SEND intent initiated from: Files (the default file explorer)
4. Flutter version: 3.27.4
5. receive_share_intent version: 1.8.1
6. Kotlin version: 1.9.22

Steps to reproduce:

• Start the application that will receive the intent
• Navigate through the screens, or make some changes
• Minimize the app using the device hardware button
• Open “Files” and select an image or other file type
• Press the share button from the top right of the screen
• Choose the minimized app

Result: A new instance of the app is opened, and the intent data is lost

Expected: The minimized app should be opened and the intent data should be received in the .getMediaStream().listen method

Did someone have the same problem? Thanks in advance

Guys I am facing same issue in debug mode but when i installed release apk , it is working as single instance.

Yes, facing the same behavior. This is really a deal breaker when dealing with code relying on singleTask, such as databases or OIDC token rotation.
