Flutter app won't get notified about the quick link event if the app is at foreground on Android devices

[lukeshan-ctm]

Sorry, have to re-open this issue since it is not resolved yet.

Describe the bug
We are developing a Flutter app running on both Android and iOS platforms. The SDK we use is https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_branch_sdk. On iOS, everything works fine. On Android, however the app won't get notified about the quick link event if the app is at foreground. When that happens I can see logs from the Branch SDK saying "onNewIntent call", but the listener in Flutter app side is not called.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Setup properly the Branch.io in Flutter app.
Launch the Flutter app on Android devices.
When the app is running at foreground, use adb command to send a valid quick link to the app.

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW \
    -c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE \
    -d "https://xxxxxx.app.link"

The Branch listener is not called.
Expected behavior
The Branch listener should be called.

In Branch's documentation there is no reference to using this command for testing.

I did a debug by the example application. The onNewIntent method is successfully called, but according to the Branch documentation available here, the Intent must have an extra parameter: branch_force_new_session.

As there is no extra, the Branch SDK is not triggered.

I don't know how to pass this parameter through ADB.

As this may be an issue in the native SDK, I suggest opening a support ticket for Branch:
