Remarks

A special variation to launch an activity only if a new activity instance is needed to handle the given Intent. In other words, this is just like #startActivityForResult(Intent, int) except: if you are using the Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flag, or singleTask or singleTop android.R.styleable#AndroidManifestActivity_launchMode launchMode, and the activity that handles <var>intent</var> is the same as your currently running activity, then a new instance is not needed. In this case, instead of the normal behavior of calling #onNewIntent this function will return and you can handle the Intent yourself.

This function can only be called from a top-level activity; if it is called from a child activity, a runtime exception will be thrown.
