Loading a different splash screen if app re-starts mid-usage

Unity Engine

In our android unity app, a standard splash screen appears when we start the app (or build to android device) which is done through Unity’s Edit → Project Settings → Player but we now have a feature that sometimes in the middle of the app, the user presses the home button and re-starts the app, so we would like to code this behavior, so that we can show a different splash screen if the app re-starts mid-usage.

So, we created a new scene with that extra splash screen and added it to the build with index 4

What we have already implemented is through:

PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Restarting", 1);
PlayerPrefs.Save();
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidPlugin.Restart();
SceneManager.LoadScene(4);
#else
SceneManager.LoadScene("MainScene");
#endif

which should load the extra splash screen when the app is reloading mid-usage, but it does not…

What are we missing or doing wrong that the app does not load the new splash screen?

p.s. The AndroidPlugin.Restart(); clears the memory since we had a lot of crashes to do with android memry management.

How are you running this code? What method is it under? Is it even being called?

Thanks for your reply. This code runs (i.e. the plug-in functions) and it is called in a UnityApplicationController.cs script when the home button is pressed. The plug-in restarts the app and clears the memory (since we had a lot of crashes to do with android memory managements, etc…) but the scene number 4 in build does not get called, because the other splash screen (as a UI canvas image) does not load…
