Restarting Android app programmatically

Question

This is a follow up question to this question:

Force application to restart on first activity

I am trying to restart my application from a fragment like that:

Answer 1

Once you add this FLAGSto the intent

i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

and call startActivity(), it will clear all the other activities including the one you call this from, so calling finish() after startActivity() will close the started activity.

Basically, remove getActivity().finish().
