in Android if OS kills my application, will getIntent() return the Intent with the same extras?

Question

After my application has been restored, of course.

or I have to store everything at onSaveInstanceState()?

This conversation seems to answer it: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f47af26b696af2e2. Look for the post starting with "Yes and no" and the few before it.

The answer is in the positive: yes, after restart of an Activity shut down by the OS, getIntent() will return an Intent with the same extras as the original.

Nevertheless, if some Android expert could confirm, I'd be glad to hear that. :)
