Description
### Plugin
share_plus
### Use case
I am experiencing a behavior where sharing via the Android share sheet causes the target app to be displayed it the same app switcher entry as the originating app. From my research, this is because the sharing intent is not created with the `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` flag. If we could optionally (or always) pass this flag when sharing, I believe that would make the flow much more intuitive for users.
### Proposal
Have an option to (or just always) set `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` when creating the share intent on Android.
### Expected behavior
This is sharing from Keep to Drive, and it works as expected.

### Current behavior
This is sharing from Thunder (which uses `share_plus`) to Drive, and it does not work as expected.
