Deep linking and multiple app instances in Android

I added this intent filter in my manifest file, and the deep linking is working. 

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
     android:host="website.in"
     android:pathPrefix="/sometag/"
     android:scheme="https" />
</intent-filter>

The problem is that through deep linking, my app is launching on top of current app. If I am in Gmail and I click a link, then my app is launching on top of Gmail.

If my app is already running in background and I click on a link in Gmail which redirects to my app, I have two instances of my app running at the same time.One in the background, and another on top of Gmail. I want to run only one instance of my app at a time, so it's not also on top of the current app (Gmail).

Finally got solution for my problem added

android:launchMode="singleTask"

in Android Manifest and override onNewIntent.and check whether existing instance is already created.

You should use the launchMode attribute of your Activity (depending on what you expect to happen). Documentation is here
