Duplicated activities on new messages with the Zulip Android app (both legacy and beta)

[pjb7687]

Android Zulip app (both legacy and beta) creates new activities when it is reactivated by touching push message for a new message, even if the activity for the chat is already open.

To reproduce:

• On the Android app, receive a DM.
• While the chat activity is open, press home button to make the Zulip app goes background.
• Receive another DM from the same person.
• Touch the push message toast to reactivate Zulip app.
• Press back button to remove the duplicated activities.

Zulip Server and web app version:

• Zulip Cloud (*.zulipchat.com)
• Zulip Server 9.x
• Zulip Server 8.x
• Zulip Server 7.x
• Zulip Server 6.x or older
• Other or not sure

Are you sure the problem isn't that you're getting notifications for both apps? The apps are independent, so it's expected that if you have both enabled for notifications, you'll see two notifications for every message, one for each app.

Yes I am pretty sure this is not that - At the moment I am only using the beta app.

The problem was there with the legacy app but I did not report the bug as it will be eventually replaced with the new flutter based one, but the same problem persists even after the framework change.
