Feature request: Open directly from lockscreen about cuppa_mobile

[ncosgray]

Hello, and thanks for your suggestion!

If understand correctly, you've been able to add a shortcut to Cuppa on your lock screen? I'm not familiar with this functionality -- and my Pixel phone can't do this -- but it sounds super useful, and I'd like to try to make Cuppa work better in that context. I did a little research and it seems some phone manufacturers have added similar functionality to their custom flavors of Android. For example, Samsung lets Galaxy users add custom lock screen shortcuts, per this article.

Since lock screen app shortcuts are not supported in stock Android, could you tell me what device you are using and what version of Android? That will help me investigate if there are any options.

Also, where did you find info about the FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED flag on the app activity? This flag was deprecated with Android 8.1 (reference) and I am unsure if the new method will have the same effect.
