Both are equal in terms of performance, but serve different purposes.

If you always want an Activity to show a particular kind of behaviour (let's take Being excluded from recent tasks for an example), then you will set the property in the <activity> element corresponding to that Activity in the manifest.

However, if you only want to exclude it from recent tasks under certain conditions, like when launching it from a Pending Intent via a notification or the AlarmManager, then you set the flag to exclude it from recent tasks in the Intent and not the manifest, so that it is still present in recent tasks under other situations, like being navigated to from within the app.
