The widgets/shortcuts might have persisted Intents with extras in the old format. If that's the case we should probably show a message telling users to re-add the widget/shortcut.

I had the same issue - removing and re-adding the widget solved the problem. I only got aware of this option here when I wanted to open a ticket. So a hint to users is required I think!
