android intent filter

Hi Mike,

Excellent plugin - extremely well put together. Thanks for sharing.

Quick question. Using latest capacitor 1.3.0, my AndroidManifest.xml already has this:

<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="@string/custom_url_scheme" android:scheme="http"/>
  <data android:host="@string/custom_url_scheme" android:scheme="https"/>
</intent-filter>

That looks a lot like the intent-filter the README says to add. Do we really need a new intent filter or should the existing one be modified to include these data attributes?

<data android:scheme="https" android:host="xxxx.app.link" />
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="xxxx-alternate.app.link" />

Hmm - maybe this answers my question: https://docs.branch.io/apps/android/
Yes - we need both.

What about that android:launchMode="singleTask" on <activity> - There's a callout on that page about that being required.

Sorry - the singleTask intent filter is already present in a default cap project.
