Answer 1

If you set the intent action, you can clear it with getIntent().setAction("");

For example in onCreate(...):

...
String action = getIntent().getAction();
if (action != null) {
  if (action.equals(YOUR_ACTION_WHATEVER)) {
    doSomethingHere(); // do something here
    getIntent().setAction(""); // clear the action
  }
}
...

This will clear the action, otherwise it will be called every time you rotate the device.
