Answer 1

Write a broadcast receiver in your CustomDialogActivity like following.

private final BroadcastReceiver abcd = new BroadcastReceiver() {
             @Override
             public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                   finish();                                   
             }
     };

Then register it in the same file like the following:

onCreate(){

    registerReceiver(abcd, new IntentFilter("xyz"));
}

Unregister it in onDestroy.

onDestroy(){

   //unRegister
}

Now,Whenever you want to close that Activity just call like the following.

sendBroadcast(new Intent("xyz"));

Hope this help.
