Affected version

0.28.0

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Install Ripple app (https://github.com/guardianproject/ripple)
2. Select NewPipe as a responder to the panic action
3. Trigger the panic action
4. The application restarts in the foreground instead of closing if it is active, or starts if it is inactive.

Expected behavior

The app should terminate itself and/or remove the search history, as it is mentioned on the guardian project's page (https://guardianproject.info/code/panickit/), and in the Ripple app.
The commit that introduced the feature in 2015 is here: #133
Either the feature should be removed or it should be fixed.

Actual behavior

The function that responds to an event initiated by a panic button no longer works.

I want to add a small piece of info. Current implementation is not only just dumb stub (which even fails at its stub implementation 😅), it is also unsafe and vulnerable because there is just no check who sends the intent. Yeah the string is compared but just any app can have that same package name because we doesn't check app certificate or use TOFU scheme. Currently it is not so much of a safety issue because it can only open/close the app. Yeah just formally if you can record screen and at the same time can't open other apps you can open newpipe and record its main screen... At most...

Guardian project has full-blown library for that purpose https://guardianproject.info/code/panickit/ available for gradle. and raw jar weight only 10KB, after optimizations even less... So if the feature is preserved, it probably should use the library to implement it safely

And also I bad at android so not sure but we probably need a service not activity to respond to this kind of intents
