Remarks

This extra can be used with any Intent used to launch an activity, supplying information about who is launching that activity. This field contains a android.net.Uri object, typically an http: or https: URI of the web site that the referral came from; it can also use the #URI_ANDROID_APP_SCHEME android-app: scheme to identify a native application that it came from.

To retrieve this value in a client, use android.app.Activity#getReferrer instead of directly retrieving the extra. It is also valid for applications to instead supply #EXTRA_REFERRER_NAME for cases where they can only create a string, not a Uri; the field here, if supplied, will always take precedence, however.
