I have used utm tagging

I am providing the basic code

public class CustomCampaignTrackingReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    private static final String TAG = CustomCampaignTrackingReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TAG);
    private static final Marker MARKER = MarkerFactory.getMarker(TAG);


    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context,final Intent intentx) {
        LOGGER.info(MARKER, "on Receive called");
        ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
        executorService.execute(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    for (String key : intentx.getExtras().keySet()) {
                        try {
                            LOGGER.info(MARKER, key + " => " + String.valueOf(intentx.getExtras().get(key)));
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            LOGGER.error(MARKER, "caught exception in on key retrieval ", e);
                        }
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    LOGGER.error(MARKER, "caught exception in key loop ", e);
                }
            }
        });
        executorService.shutdown();
    }
}
