Close application and launch home screen on Android

Question

I have two different activities. The first launches the second one. In the second activity, I call System.exit(0) in order to force the application to close, bu

Answer 1

Run the second activity using start activity for result:

Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);

//This line is important
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);

startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);

Add this function to the first Activity:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if(rquestCode == REQUEST_CODE)
        if(resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
            finish();
}

And add this to the second Activity:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)  {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {

        Log.i(TAG, "Back key pressed");
        setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);
        finish();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
