Research direction

Start by comparing the splashScreen launch path with mainActivity in the Mapbox navigation example and reproduce the Android Auto black screen. Trace the Android Auto startup and map-loading behavior to identify the cause; done means documenting a confirmed explanation and a reproducible fix or workaround.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm trying to integrate Android Auto into my application. Normally the first screen of my application is splashScreen. When I try to open my application with splashScreen, the map is not loaded in Android Auto and it remains on a black screen. What is the reason?

But when I try to start it with the mainActivity in the mapbox navigation example, the map is loaded into android auto.
