Description

Describe the bug

for example, when you click a notification it opens a picker where you can choose the activity to open the note, but it shouldn't happen, because the 2 versions have separate databases. It's because we don't use separate URI for the signal that opens the note. It's similar to the problem that was fixed by using the package name for content providers.

how To Reproduce
  1. install the fdroid AND the play store versions
  2. fill both with notes
  3. set a reminer on a note and wait
  4. click the notification
  5. you get to choose which app should open the note, but the correct one should be chosen automatically!

Research direction

Reproduce the notification flow with both F-Droid and Play Store versions installed, then trace the URI used to open a note from a reminder notification. Review the existing package-name handling for content providers and verify that the notification opens the matching app without presenting a picker.
