I run through the following life-cycle when starting my app through the launcher:
onCreate..., onPostCreate..., onResume..., onNewIntent..., act:android.intent.action.MAIN, mNfcAdapter.disableForegroundDispatch OK.
When I then tap a tag, a new instance of application seems to be launched as I run through the following life-cycle then:
onPause..., onCreate..., onPostCreate..., onResume..., onNewIntent..., act:android.nfc.action.TAG_DISCOVERED, myTag.mId:048a1382bd2384)
Since I try to use the foreground dispatch system to disable recieving NFC events, I expected my app to ignore the NFC tag. So why is my activity recreated instead? Is it because AndroidManifest.xml allows it?
