As other answers have the following should work.

Intent intent = new Intent(Activity3.this, FinishActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

For API level < 11, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK is not available. Instead I used IntentCompat.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK from support library.

See IntentCompat
