activity starter extra only support string or array, do not support int or boolean, with minimal modification it can be added

if (value instanceof YailList) {
          Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra list, key = " + key + " value = " + value);
          intent.putExtra(key, ((YailList) value).toStringArray());
        }
        else {
          String stringValue = castExtra.getString(1);
          Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra string, key = " + key + " value = " + stringValue);
          intent.putExtra(key, stringValue);
        }

then try this

if (value instanceof YailList) {
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra list, key = " + key + " value = " + value);
    intent.putExtra(key, ((YailList) value).toStringArray());
}
else if (value instanceof Integer) {
    Integer intValue = (Integer) value;
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra int, key = " + key + " value = " + intValue);
    intent.putExtra(key, intValue);
}
else if (value instanceof Boolean) {
    Boolean boolValue = (Boolean) value;
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra boolean, key = " + key + " value = " + boolValue);
    intent.putExtra(key, boolValue);
}
else {
    String stringValue = castExtra.getString(1);
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra string, key = " + key + " value = " + stringValue);
    intent.putExtra(key, stringValue);
}

not working, need to use this

else if (value instanceof gnu.math.IntNum) {
                    Integer intValue = ((gnu.math.IntNum)value).intValue();
                    intent.putExtra(key, intValue);
                    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Adding extra Int, key = " + key + " value = " + intValue);
                }
