There are 2 ways for solve your problem

1) call finish() after startActivity(intent) in every activity

2) set android:launchMode="singleInstance" in every tag in menifest file

i think 2nd way is best for solving problem but you can also use first way

Add android:noHistory="true" in your activity manifest file.

Answer 3

This works well for me.

• You should using FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK and FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flags.

  Intent intent = new Intent(SecondActivity.this, CloseActivity.class);
  //Clear all activities and start new task
  intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); 
  startActivity(intent);
  

• onCreate() method of CloseActivity activity.

  @Override 
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      finish(); // Exit 
  }
