How to specify mutable pending intent in Android 12?

I am aware there's tons of similar questions, but I cannot find anything that answers this one particular one.

I am trying to update my app to use a mutable PendingIntent. I know that for Android 12+, I can do

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, updateIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE);

However, my app has a minSdk of 24 and PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE was added in sdk 31. When I try this

PendingIntent pendingIntent = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S) {
   pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, updateIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE);
} else {
   pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, updateIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}

I get a warning in the else block in Android Studio for "Missing Pending Intent Mutability Flag". Is this an Android Studio bug? Or do I need to do something else to handle mutable pending intents?

You don't need the if block. You can just use:

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0,
                updateIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT |
                              PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE);

even though the constant PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE was introduced in API 31, this code will work on older versions of Android as this flag will just be ignored by versions of Android older than API 31.
