Android: get most recent intent

Question

How can I get the last intent sent to an activity?

The docs for onNewIntent() suggest I would need to do something like this:

class MyActivity {
    public void onNewIntent(Intent intent){
        setIntent(intent);
        reactToIntentAndDoStuff()
        super.onNewIntent(Intent intent);
    }
    public void onCreate(){
        reactToIntentAndDoStuff()
        super.onCreate();
    }
    public void onResume(){
        reactToIntentAndDoStuff()
        super.onResume();
    }
    public void reactToIntentAndDoStuff(){
        Intent intent = getIntent();
    }
}

Does this look about right? Or is there a better way? My activity's launchMode will be singleTop. It will need to react to the same Intent in more or less the same way, whether it's already instantiated or not.

I think this is the correct way :) Please check if you really need to call reactToIntentAndDoStuff() in onResume() method. I think its not needed.

super.onCreate(); should be first line in onCreate() method.

getIntent() returns an Intent which was received when Activity launched first time. This does not update unless we call setIntent(newIntent) method.
