[Bug]: Activity is not launched when the app is in background

[janbolat]

What happened?

Hello,
I have upgraded OneSignal from v4 to v5, but now I have an issue:
I am not able to launch the activity (PushActivity) when I click the notification in the tray.

1) When the app is foregrounded, PushActivity gets created and destroyed:

2) When the app is backgrounded, PushActivity is not even called, only launcher activity is called:

Below is my setup. Am I doing something wrong:

OneSignal.Debug.logLevel = if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) LogLevel.VERBOSE else LogLevel.NONE
OneSignal.consentRequired = false
OneSignal.consentGiven = true
OneSignal.initWithContext(context, "***************")
OneSignal.Location.isShared = false
OneSignal.disableGMSMissingPrompt = false
OneSignal.InAppMessages.paused = false
OneSignal.Notifications.addClickListener(object : INotificationClickListener {
override fun onClick(event: INotificationClickEvent) {
if (!event.notification.launchURL.isNullOrBlank()) return
val intent = Intent(context, PushActivity::class.java)
intent.package = context.packageName
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION)
if (intent.resolveActivity(context.packageManager) != null) {
intent.putExtra(KEY_PUSH_TITLE, event.notification.title)
intent.putExtra(KEY_PUSH_BODY, event.notification.body)
intent.putExtra(KEY_PUSH_CONTENT, event.notification.additionalData?.optString(KEY_PUSH_CONTENT))
val options = ActivityOptionsCompat
.makeCustomAnimation(context, 0, 0)
.toBundle()
context.startActivity(intent, options)
}
}
})

I also have service extension:

class NotificationServiceExtension: INotificationServiceExtension {
override fun onNotificationReceived(event: INotificationReceivedEvent) {
val notification = event.notification
val context = event.context
notification.setExtender { builder ->
builder.setChannelId(Constants.CHANNEL_MESSAGES_ID)
.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.logo_color))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_message)
.setBadgeIconType(NotificationCompat.BADGE_ICON_SMALL)
.setContentText(event.notification.body)
.setTicker(event.notification.body)
.setContentTitle(event.notification.title)
.setGroup("message")
.setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX)
.setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_MESSAGE)
}
}
}

Steps to reproduce?

Tested on 5.1.33, 5.1.34

I looked at the code and see that, OneSignal starts a launcher activity when notification is clicked, is it right? Is there a way to launch a non-launcher activity? I need a custom activity to send some bundle (data) from push.

I also tried in service extension to add a .setContentIntent(PendingIntent(someActivity)), but it didn't help.

Sorry, my fault. Deleted the following code by mistake while upgrading to v5:
