You need to use enableForegroundDispatch(activity, pendingIntent, null, null) and then make sure the pendingIntent wraps an intent that has the flag SINGLE_TOP. The intent should start the same activity, and because SINGLE_TOP is used the activity currently in memory will just be used. onNewIntent() is called and you can then extract the tag out of the intent.

Take a good look at the foreground dispatch system capability as described on the NfcAdapter page (enableForegroundDispatch()). Your activity can call a method to basically intercept a tag intent that you're interested in; your activity gets priority over all other activities. You'll get the tag delivered to you in the onNewIntent() callback of your existing activity.
