receive_intent
A Flutter plugin to pass Android Intents to the Flutter environment.
Intent
in Android is the backbone of communicating between and within apps. This plugin passes the Intent
, which "started" the Activity
(which is running flutter runtime) to the flutter environment. It also passes any "new Intent" that was received (via Activity.onNewIntent
) while the Activity
was already "started".
If the Intent
was "started" via startActivityForResult
, then this plugin also sends additional information (package name and app signature) about the "calling" Android Component, and can send "result" back (via Activity.setResult
) to it.
This widget is in active development. Any contribution, idea, criticism or feedback is welcomed.

Use cases
- OAuth based App Flip - This was the initial motivation for this plugin. The plugin can be used to pass the
Intent
sent by Google App to the flutter environment - where the consent UI is shown - once it is authorized (or not), the result is sent back to the Google App. - Deeplink/Applink - This plugin is a genric implementation of uni_links plugin. While this plugin passes "any" Intents,
uni_links
only passes app-link/deep-link Intents. - In general, if you want other apps to "start" your app, then this plugin can pass the
Intent
that "triggered" it to the flutter environment of the app. TheseIntent
will give the app understanding of why the app was started. Check Getting started section to implement this.
