[android-developers] Re: Issue with starting two instances of an activity with flag Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT and a new extra information in the Intent does not override the original Intent.

I'm not sure if this will work or not in your situation or if you are
already doing this, but you could try this:

Implement the callback method 'onNewIntent(Intent newIntent)' in your
class 'A'.
Then when the oNewINtent is called, be sure to call
'setIntent(newIntent)'.

The thing here is, that your re-use an instance of your activity 'A'.
In this case, the activity's 'onCreate' is not called. Instead, its
'onNewIntent' is called.
