Programmatically close an interstitial ad

Question

I want to make sure that interstitial ads on Android, using the Android AdMob SDK, can be closed. After some research, it seems to me that this is not possible due to the ad

For new readers. use:

Intent intent = new Intent(activity, activity.getClass());
                    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
                    activity.startActivity(intent);



        @Override
        public void onAdOpened() {
            // Code to be executed when the ad is displayed.
            Log.d("mInterstitialAd", "onAdOpened  ");
            fullscreenAdShowing = true;
            new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    if(!fullscreenAdShowing){
                        return;
                    }
                    Log.d("mInterstitialAd", "onAdOpened  Handler 5 seconds run");
                    Intent intent = new Intent(activity, activity.getClass());
                    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
                    activity.startActivity(intent);

                }
            }, 5000);
        }

        @Override
        public void onAdClosed() {
            // Code to be executed when when the interstitial ad is closed.
            Log.d("mInterstitialAd", "onAdClosed  loadAd");
            fullscreenAdShowing = false;

            mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());

        }
