Display app when user clicks on notification in Android

I have hooked up to Google Cloud Messaging and am displaying a notification when I receive something. I want to "maximize" my app when the user clicks on the notification. I.e. show the latest activity related to my app. Or, if the app has not started, I want to start it's main activity.

It is imperative that I do not create a new instance of the last activity if the app is already open.

How can I achieve this?

I have seen a lot of similar questions, but all the answers seem to want to specify the activity class, which I don't know, since I don't know which activity was last shown.

Is there a solution to this seemingly simple task?

My code looks something like this at the moment:

        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
            .setContentTitle("foo")
            .setContentText(message)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
            .setContentIntent(PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, new Intent(), 0));


    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());

But it is not working.

When your opening an Activity while Notification is clicked just open the following Activity. i.e. your PendingIntent will open following Activity

Please read all the comments written in Activity so that you will know why this has been created

public class NotificationHandlerActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        //deep linking - resuming app code
        if (isTaskRoot()) {
            // This Activity is the only Activity, so
            //  the app wasn't running. So start the app from the
            //  beginning (redirect to MainActivity)
        } else {
            // App was already running, so just finish, which will drop the user
            //  in to the activity that was at the top of the task stack
            Intent intent = getIntent();
            Uri data = intent.getData();
            //you can put your extra's if any
            finish();
        }
    }
}
