Web intent: passing extras

[danilopolani]

I'm submitting a ...
[x] bug report
[ ] feature request

Current behavior:
The Web Intent package doesn't allow extras.

Expected behavior:
Passing extra parameters to startActivity method.

Other information:

My goal is to create a "native share", like the example from the Android documentation:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(sendIntent);

As we can see, there's an action, an extra (EXTRA_TEXT) and a type. This can be achieved from the cordova plugin with something like this (from the README of the repo):

window.plugins.intentShim.startActivity({
    action: 'android.intent.action.SEND',
    extras: {
        'android.intent.extra.TEXT': 'My text here'
    }
});

Now, looking at the declaration of the startActivity method from ionic native package we can see that the url is required (why?) and there's no way to define extras.

startActivity(options: {
        action: any;
        url: string;
        type?: string;
    })

The only method which has an extras field is sendBroadcast, but I think it's a little weird:

sendBroadcast(options: {
    action: string;
    extras?: {
       option: boolean;
    };
})

option: boolean? What? And all the "convenience constants" like ACTION_SEND and EXTRA_TEXT are declareted but not filled (but maybe they are somewhere else).

I know it's marked as "Beta", but I think it hasn't the basic functionalities. Should I use the cordova plugin "without" the ionic native part?
