-      The system received an Intent for the HomeActivity. An intent
-      is received an external entity wants to the app to display
-      content. Intents can be received when the app is closed – at
-      which point the app will be opened – or when the app is
-      already opened – at which point the already open app will make
-      changes such as loading a url. This can be used loosely as a
-      heuristic for when the user requested to open the app. The
-      HomeActivity encompasses the home screen and browser screen but
-      may include other screens. This differs from the app_opened
-      probe because it measures all startups, not just cold startup.
