See startCarApp for the supported intents that can be passed to this method.

Here is an example of usage of this method when setting a notification's intent: 

    NotificationCompat.Builder builder;
    ...
    builder.setContentIntent(CarPendingIntent.getCarApp(getCarContext(), 0,
            new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setComponent(
                    new ComponentName(getCarContext(), MyCarAppService.class)), 0));
Parameters
@NonNull Context context

the context in which this PendingIntent should use to start the car app
int requestCode

private request code for the sender
@NonNull Intent intent

the intent that will be sent to the car app
int flags

may be any of the flags allowed by getBroadcast except for FLAG_IMMUTABLE as the PendingIntent needs to be mutable to allow the host to add the necessary extras for starting the car app. If FLAG_IMMUTABLE is set, it will be unset before creating the PendingIntent
Returns
@NonNull PendingIntent

an existing or new PendingIntent matching the given parameters. May return null only if FLAG_NO_CREATE has been supplied.
Throws

java.security.InvalidParameterException

if the intent is not for starting a navigation or a phone call and does not have the target car app's component name
