Pass flags when open an intent on Android
Summary:
This change introduces support for passing custom flags to Android Intents from React Native, which is critical for advanced navigation flows such as opening activities in a new task or clearing the back stack
Changelog:
[ANDROID] [ADDED] - Add flags parameter to sendIntent
Test Plan:
Open Android settings in the bluetooth page and then run the following method:
// Allow to open the location settings with a cleared activity
await Linking.sendIntent('android.settings.LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS', [], [0X00008000])
It should open settings in the correct page

Hi @cortinico, can you check this PR? We would like to have this feature directly into React Native without having to create additional custom module 🙏🏻
This change introduces support for passing custom flags to Android Intents from React Native, which is critical for advanced navigation flows such as opening activities in a new task or clearing the back stack. In our case, we used this to reliably open a specific settings page; without the appropriate flag, the system would often restore the previously opened settings screen instead of the intended destination. This behavior is consistent with Android’s native intent handling. The implementation is fully backward-compatible (existing behavior is preserved when no flags are provided) and enhances the module’s flexibility without requiring native code overrides.
This PR is stale because it has been open for 180 days with no activity. It will be closed in 7 days unless you comment on it or remove the "Stale" label.
