@bbarrue do you have a splash screen activity that loads first?

@bbarrue do you have a splash screen activity that loads first?

Yes I do and it throws away the modal. Wondering if this is the correct use case?

@bbarrue You just need to exclude the activity from showing IAA, you can do that by adding some metadata to the manifest for that activity:

        <activity android:name="your.splash.screen.activity">

            <meta-data
                android:name="com.urbanairship.push.iam.EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_SHOW"
                android:value="true" />

                ....
        </activity>

Also please update to SDK 14.1.1. We fixed an issue around excluding activities from auto showing where the IAA would not display again until some other condition triggered it, like another foreground.
