I also had the same problem and try to resolve the problem like @GrAnd's answer:

final Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context,YourActivity.class);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

This works, no doubts about it but the problem is when you set your intent as ACTION_MAIN. Then you will not be able to set any bundle to the intent. I mean, your primitive data will not be received from the target activity because ACTION_MAIN can not contain any extra data.

Instead of this, you can just set your activities as singleTask and call your intent normally without setting ACTION_MAIN and receive the intent from onNewIntent() method of your target activity.

But beaware if you call, super.onNewIntent(intent); then a second instance of the activity will be created.
