Pending Intent does not launch Activity if app is already open or in background

In my app, i have a widget. If user clicks on widget, I am opening SplashScreen using pending intent using below code.

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_main_layout, pendingIntent);

This code works fine is app is not open and launch my splash screen.

However if app is already open and in background and if i click on widget then my SplashScreen not opening and instead only app comes to the froeground.

Could anyone let me know whats wrong with my code?

Set the flag of the intent you are passing to the pending Activity to:

Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
