Answer 1

Open up AndroidManifest.xml and find the activity that you would like to return to and add the following attribute

android:launchMode="singleTask"

For example, HomeActivity class might have this in android manifest

At any point, you can close all activities on top of this one by using startActivity the standard way, for example

startActivity(new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class));

If you normally pass extras to the intent, there's no need to do this as it will come back in whatever state it was before, and it's even accompanied by an animation like hitting the back button.
