It means your previous activity in stack when you start this activity. Add finish(); after the line in which you calling this activity.

In your all previous activity. when you start new activity like-

startActivity(I);

Add finish(); after this.

When you press back and then you finish your current activity say A   you see a blank activity with your app logo say B   this simply means that activity B which is shown after finishing A is still in backstack  and also activity A was started from activity B  so in activity  You should start activity A with flags as   Intent launchNextActivity  launchNextActivity   new Intent B class  A class   launchNextActivity addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK   launchNextActivity addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK                     launchNextActivity addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NO ANIMATION   startActivity launchNextActivity     Now your activity A is top on stack with no other activities of your application on the backstack   Now in the activity A where you want to implement onBackPressed to close the app  you may do something like this    private Boolean exit   false   Override     public void onBackPressed             if  exit                finish       finish activity           else               Toast makeText this   Press Back again to Exit                        Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                exit   true              new Handler   postDelayed new Runnable                      Override                 public void run                         exit   false                                   3   1000                       The Handler here handles accidental back presses  it simply shows a Toast  and if there is another back press within 3 seconds  it closes the application

nobody seems to have recommended noHistory  true  in manifest xml to prevent certain activity to appear after you press back button which by default calling method finish

In my understanding Google wants Android to handle memory management and shutting down the apps  If you must exit the app from code  it might be beneficial to ask Android to run garbage collector    Override public void onBackPressed        System gc        System exit 0       You can also add finish   to the code  but it is probably redundant  if you also do System exit 0

Finish doesn t close the app  it just closes the activity  If this is the launcher activity  then it will close your app  if not  it will go back to the previous activity   What you can do is use onActivityResult to trigger as many finish   as needed to close all the open activities

In order to exit from the app on pressing back button you have to first clear all the top activities and then start the ACTION MAIN of android phone  So  you have to write all these code only which is mentioned below    Note   In your case MainActivity get replaced by YourActivity   Override public void onBackPressed              new AlertDialog Builder this                   setTitle  Really Exit                     setMessage  Are you sure you want to exit                     setNegativeButton android R string no  null                   setPositiveButton android R string yes  new DialogInterface OnClickListener                          Override                     public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                            MainActivity super onBackPressed                            quit                                             create   show            public void quit             Intent start   new Intent Intent ACTION MAIN           start addCategory Intent CATEGORY HOME           start setFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK           start addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP           startActivity start
