String strExtra = getIntent().getExtras().getString("leagueCount");

...that's it! ;) (Depending on what dataType u put in, u have to use "getInt()" or sth..)

In the target activty, call getIntent to retrieve the intent, then use getStringExtra, getIntExtra, etc. to retrieve the intent parameters.

Depends what is your variable. It seems to be an int. So you will call like this:

int myVar = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("leagueCount");

if (myVar == 2) {
    //do the stuff
}

in onCreate() method of IntroActivity write the following code

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Intent intent = getIntent();

    // -1 is default value if no value associated with key "leagueCount"

    int leagueCount = intent.getIntExtra("leagueCount", -1);

   /*
      if leagueCount is not equal to -1
      use leagueCount here

   */
}

Android import intent contents within another activity
