Answer 1

This is the way I did it:

I just put

Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, SOMECLASSNAME.class);
Main.this.startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

inside of the method that opens an activity, then inside of the method of SOMECLASSNAME that is designed to close the app I put:

setResult(0);
finish();

And I put the following in my Main class:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if(resultCode == 0) {
        finish();
    }
}
