To clear the activity stack completely you want to create a new task stack using TaskStackBuilder  for example   Intent loginIntent   LoginActivity getIntent context   TaskStackBuilder create context  addNextIntentWithParentStack loginIntent  startActivities      This will not only create a new  clean task stack  it will also allow for proper functioning of the  up  button if your LoginActivity has a parent activity

The solution proposed here worked for me   Java  Intent i   new Intent OldActivity this  NewActivity class      set the new task and clear flags i setFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK   startActivity i     Kotlin  val i   Intent this  NewActivity  class java     set the new task and clear flags i flags   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK or Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK startActivity i    However  it requires API level    11

Here is one solution to clear all your application s activities when you use the logout button   Every time you start an Activity  start it like this   Intent myIntent   new Intent getBaseContext    YourNewActivity class   startActivityForResult myIntent  0     When you want to close the entire app  do this   setResult RESULT CLOSE ALL   finish      RESULT CLOSE ALL is a final global variable with a unique integer to signal you want to close all activities     Then define every activity s onActivityResult      callback so when an activity returns with the RESULT CLOSE ALL value  it also calls finish      Override protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        switch resultCode            case RESULT CLOSE ALL          setResult RESULT CLOSE ALL           finish              super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data       This will cause a cascade effect that closes all your activities   This is a hack however and uses startActivityForResult in a way that it was not designed to be used   Perhaps a better way to do this would be using broadcast receivers as shown here   On logout  clear Activity history stack  preventing  quot back quot  button from opening logged-in-only Activites  See these threads for other methods as well   Android  Clear the back stack  Finish all previous activities

None of the intent flags worked for me  but this is how I fixed it   When a user signs out from one activity I had to broadcast a message from that activity  then receive it in the activities that I wanted to close after which I call finish    and it works pretty well

finishAffinity   added in API 16  Use ActivityCompat finishAffinity   in previous versions  When you will launch any activity using intent and finish the current activity  Now use  ActivityCompat finishAffinity   instead finish    it will finish all stacked activity below current activity  It works fine for me

Advanced  Reuseable Kotlin   You can set the flag directly using setter method  In Kotlin or is the replacement for the Java bitwise or     intent flags   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK or Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK   If you plan to use this regularly  create an Intent extension function  fun Intent clearStack         flags   Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK or Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK     You can then directly call this function before starting the intent  intent clearStack     If you need the option to add additional flags in other situations  add an optional param to the extension function   fun Intent clearStack additionalFlags  Int   0        flags   additionalFlags or Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK or Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK

One possible solution what I can suggest you is to add android launchMode  singleTop  in the manifest for my ProfileActivity  and when log out is clicked u can logoff starting again you LoginActivity  on  logout u can call this   Intent in   new Intent Profile this Login class                   in addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP                   startActivity in                   finish
