When do we fill in parameters for Intents?

Self-learning Android at the moment.

My question is when do I need to use the parameters for the instantiating an Intent?

Sometimes I write this:

Intent baseIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, googleURI);

Other times:

Intent explicitIntent = new Intent(this, ExplicitlyLoadedActivity.class);

And there are even times such as:

Intent intent = new Intent();

When do I fill in the parameters for the constructor?

And what kind of parameters?
