I can't get "DOMLinkChanged" -> "Link:Manifest" while the app is killed and restarted by Android system. This is  because we don't reload the web page when the activity recreated.

Hi snorp.
May I kwnow if you have a better solution here?

I guess you need to look for the meta tags after the session has been restored? Seems to be mostly an edge case to me. A simple reload or navigation will fix it.
