Steps to reproduce

1. Init project
2. Implement this code to MainActivity.kt

val CUSTOM_EXTRA_NAME = "RELAUNCHED"

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        if (!intent.getBooleanExtra(CUSTOM_EXTRA_NAME, false)) {
            this.finish()
            intent.addFlags(FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            intent.putExtra(CUSTOM_EXTRA_NAME, true);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
        super.onCreate(null)
    }

3. Got error

Link to repo

Start with the MainActivity.kt reproduction in the linked repository and run a debug launch using React Native 0.72.6. Trace the reported path through DefaultDevLoadingViewImplementation and compare it with the custom activity restart sequence; done means establishing a scoped, reproducible framework issue or documenting why the report does not identify a framework change.
