    1. Hi Vishu,

      Android applications Contains Activities (Screens). If you can close all Activities which are running, nothing exiting application.

      We can do this by clearing all activities using FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag.

      Call the Exit activity with FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag and finish it onCreate.

      Intent intent = new Intent(this, ExitActivity.class);
      intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
      startActivity(intent);
      finish();
