Android app to launch link in existing Chrome tab

[Andy]

I am developing a kendo mobile cordova/phonegap application using Telerik AppBuilder mainly for Android right now.  My native Android build is getting launched from a browser using a custom Android Intent and then I would like it to return focus to the browser that launched it once native processing is over.  I am able to get the native WebIntent Android Plugin for Cordova 3.X By Boris Smus to launch my web application in the Android Chrome browser but it opens a new tab each time I transfer back to my web app from the native app.  I am seeing some info on EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID and EXTRA_CREATE_NEW_TAB but I am not able to find much on how to use them. 

Does anyone know how I can launch a link in an existing tab or possibly the exact same tab that the native Android app was launched from?

Here is the javascript code I am using to launch the web link in the browser.
 window.plugins.webintent.startActivity({
     action: window.plugins.webintent.ACTION_VIEW,
     url: 'http://www.telerik.com'},
     function() {},
     function() {alert('Failed to open URL via Android Intent')}
);

Hello Andrew,

As far as I know such a functionality is not supported out-of-the-box using cordova/phonegap. It seems that the Browser keys you mentioned (EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID and EXTRA_CREATE_NEW_TAB) should help in controlling whether a new tab will be opened to launch a link from an Android app, but they can only be used within a native Android application.

I don't see a way to pass these keys to the Android Browser using the WebIntent plug-in but perhaps you can contact the plugin's author to see if he or any of the contributors to the project can help.
