i think when u launch it from browser, launch it as new_task and also add
intent extra to identify that its launched from browser. once u do this
override the onNewIntent method. in this method check for your intent
extra and do something like this......
@Override protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
super.onNewIntent();
check intent extra to identify if launched from browser if yes then do
below things.
finish();
getApplicationContext().startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
SplashActivity.class)
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK));
}
}

This is the desired behavior so all is well.

SplashActivity I launch MainActivity. Now the task has 2 activities with
MainActivity on top. I minimize with the HOME key and then launch a
special webpage. This webpage has a button that launches a url with the
scheme "abc:<data>". This launches SplashActivity. However, this is
launched in the browser task. I would like for the original minimized task
to be launched with SplashActivity as the root (FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
might unify SplashActivity with the original instance that was in the
background) and I would also like to add a flag of FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
so that MainActivity is closed. How do I achieve this?

"singleTask" but for various reasons "singleTask" does not perform exactly
as desired. Most importantly, it seems to clear all the activities on top
each time you relaunch SplashActivity. This is fine for Scenario 2 but in
Scenario 1 I do not wish to clear the activities on top.

clicking the button on the webpage, my app is launched with SplashActivity
at the root (not in the browser task) and MainActivity is closed. The
issue is that we can't control the intent from the browser.
