Add a notification command to launch an activity

[dshokouhi]

Summary

Fixes: #1326

A new command command_activity is added to handle this specific intent as we need to do several things to properly launch an activity. The title must contain the URI to send to the app. The channel must be used to set the package name of where the intent needs to be sent to. The group must be set the intending action string. We handle generating the URI and launching the activity with the intent.

Example:

message: command_activity
title: "geo:0,0?q=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway%2C+CA"
data:
  channel: "com.google.android.apps.maps"
  group: "android.intent.action.VIEW"

message: command_activity
title: "google.navigation:q=arbys"
data:
  channel: "com.google.android.apps.maps"
  group: "android.intent.action.VIEW"

Looks like the checks got stuck, going to close and re-open

Edit: either something is down or I am not patient enough 😆

I'm not sure we want to hard link to google navigation. Maybe use the common intent? I know it might not be identical but this way if someone doesn't use Google Maps this will still work for them.

Hmm ok so a special command that starts an activity with Intent.ACTION_VIEW preset?

[dshokouhi]

Per: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common#Music this might also fix: #1148 as a temporary workaround until we set something up similar for actionable notifications.
