getInitialAppLink not working on Android from a cold start #95

Describe the bug

I need to be able to route to a deeplink on Android from a cold start but it doesn't seem to be working. When I send a deeplink from cold start, the app will start but it doesn't populate the getInitialAppLink value. The value's null so it loses the deeplink. Deeplinking works from all other uses cases as long as the apps been started.

Does it related to

[ ] App Links (Android)
[X] Deep Links (Android)
[ ] Universal Links (iOS)
[ ] or Custom URL schemes? (iOS)

Does the example project work?

[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[X] Irrelevant here

      <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:scheme="@string/deep_link_prefix" />
      </intent-filter>

You seem to initialize the plugin too late. Please ensure to do it early to be able to catch the very first link. You can also have a look at the example which is relevant here.
