DP5 7.0 - Does adding extras to a pending intent fail?

Question

Adding the linked issue on tracker: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=216581&thanks=216581&ts=1468962325

So I installed the DP5 Android 7.0 rele

I've found that wrapping the Parcelable in a Bundle works.

// When setting up the PendingIntent for the AlarmManager:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
MyParcelable myParcelable = new MyParcelable();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putParcelable(EXTRA_MY_PARCELABLE, myParcelable);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_BUNDLE, b);
PendingIntent.getService(0, intent, 0);

// From the Service (or Activity, BroadcastReceiver, etc.):
Bundle b = intent.getExtra(EXTRA_BUNDLE);
MyParcelable myParcelable = b.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_MY_PARCELABLE);

However, I'm not sure how future-proof this approach is. I've commented on the issue on the android bug tracker: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=209422#c11 but I doubt it's going to receive a response since the issue has already been marked closed.
