5. Setting up Tracking of App Launch Sources

🚧

Before you begin, make sure you’ve completed these steps:

• Setting up Integration Points for Android App
• Retrieving Firebase Keys for an Android App
• Adding the SDK to Your App
• Initializing the SDK
• Sending Push Notifications Using Firebase or Sending Push Notifications Using Huawei
• Retrieving Click Counts for Mobile Push Notifications

The SDK automatically tracks app launches and sends this data to Mindbox. This helps understand the channels used by customers and create a communication strategy that is relevant.

Most apps do not require any additional settings — however, the singleTask and singleTop apps require one additional step.

If:

• AndroidManifest.xml contains android:launchMode="singleTask" or android:launchMode="singleTop";
• the Activity tab displays Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP or [Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK],

override the onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) method for this Activity with the following code:

override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent)
    ...
    Mindbox.onNewIntent(intent)
    ...
}
