I created a fresh project from a Android Studio (2020.3.1 Patch 3) template (Bottom Navigation Activity, minSDK 23, Java, compileSDK+targetSDK 31) and implemented the Androidx SplashScreen compat library as described in the docs (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/splash-screen/migrate).

So what I did:

• Added the dependency:

implementation 'androidx.core:core-splashscreen:1.0.0-alpha02'

• Added the necessary splash style:

<style name="Theme.MySplashScreen" parent="Theme.SplashScreen">
        <item name="windowSplashScreenBackground">@color/teal_700</item>
        <item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.MySplashApplication</item>
</style>

• Called installSplashScreen from the Activity

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        SplashScreen splashScreen = SplashScreen.installSplashScreen(this);
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        setContentView(binding.getRoot());

• Adjusted the AndroidManifest to include the new splash style for the main activity and also included an intent-filter to react to deeplinks for my domain:

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MySplashApplication">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.MySplashScreen">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
            <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="http" />
                <data android:scheme="https" />
                <data android:host="www.buildfox.de" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

Then I install the app on a default Pixel5 emulator with Android 12 / API 31

What happened:

• Normal cold starts work just fine, but when the app is completely closed and I trigger a deeplink to www.buildfox.de, the app starts, but it doesn't show the icon, only the teal_700-colored background.
• Same behavior if I go to AppInfo->Force stop and then ->Open again: The logo is missing

(Btw, also no change if I include a custom vector drawable <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@drawable/my_splash_logo</item>)

Expected behavior:

The splash screen should always display the icon
