There is enough material on this forum if you search with 'pending
intent' especially around its uniqueness criteria.
At a high level, pending intents are references to already stored
intents. A pending intent uses the input intent as a key to locate
previously established pending intent for this intent. The key to
locate this does not include the "extras". All other parts of an
intent participate in this uniqueness.
So even if you set extras different on 10 different intents
(everyother part of an intent being same) will result in a single
pendingintent.
The flag that was suggested will retreive that previous intent and
replaces the new extras on the old one.
You can also use something called a "requestid" to make the intents
unique. But it is suggested in the docs that you don't want to create
a lot of pendign intents if you have other ways of solving it.
Hope this brings a bit more background to pending intent
