Research direction

Start by locating the android_intent_plus implementation and its Android launch entry point; the issue does not name files or tests. Read the Android 15 background activity launch requirements and the shown ActivityOptions API. Done means AndroidIntent exposes the requested mode and launching works for apps targeting Android 15 or higher.

Description

enhancement triage
Plugin

android_intent_plus

Use case

targeting Android 15 or higher will default to no longer implicitly granting background activity launch (BAL) privileges to PendingIntents they create. Explicit opt-in is required

due to this activity launch fails without any error, there should be way to opt in for BAL, native android allows it using:

val options = ActivityOptions.makeBasic()
options.setPendingIntentBackgroundActivityStartMode(
    ActivityOptions.MODE_BACKGROUND_ACTIVITY_START_ALLOW_ALWAYS
)
context.startActivity(intent, options.toBundle())

Proposal
final AndroidIntent intent = AndroidIntent(
    action: '....',
    data: '....',
     /// Add option to pass 
    backgroundActivityStartMode: ActivityOptions.MODE_BACKGROUND_ACTIVITY_START_ALLOWED
  );
  await intent.launch();
