I have implemented deep linking in my app. I added this intent filter in my manifest file, and the deep linking is working.
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.VIEW" /> <data android:host="www.mywebsite.com" android:pathPrefix="/something" android:scheme="http" /> </intent-filter> The problem is that through deep linking, my app is launching on top of current app. If I am in Gmail and I click a link, then my app is launching on top of Gmail. I want to launch my app differently.
If my app is already running in background and I click on a link in Gmail which redirects to my app, I will have two instances of my app running at the same time; one in the background, and another on top of Gmail. I want to run only one instance of my app at a time, so it's not also on top of the current app (Gmail). How can I do that?

Passing search data via deep linkingDevelopers will need to submit their app and deep linking apps on both iOS and Android to be indexed by Google. Alternatively, developers can use Google's short links to deep link mobile app users if the app is installed and direct others to the webpage.
When a user click an URL, it might open a dialog which asks the user to select one of multiple apps handling the given URL. On the other hand, An Android App Link is a deep link based on your website URL that has been verified to belong to your website. When user clicks that URL, it opens your app.
What is deep linking? Deep links are a type of link that send users directly to an app instead of a website or a store. They are used to send users straight to specific in-app locations, saving users the time and energy locating a particular page themselves – significantly improving the user experience.
You need to do following things for your Activity in your Manifest.
android:launchMode="singleTask" This tells the system to always launch the existing instance of the Activity if it is already created.
And you can handle the Intent then by overriding the method
onNewIntent See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html for more information.
