How to clear activity from activity stack that has been started from outside the activity in android?

Question

I have a broadcast receiver class that starts some dialog activity say A with the intent flag Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK as i am starting activity from outside Activity(Even when my app is not running) and everyone do the same. **

case :

** i run my app and closed it.some event trigger broadcast and broadcast receiver will catch and start dialog activity A then user cancel it by finishing it.Here is the problem: user try to lunch app from home button then Dialog activity opens up instead of main activity.

any suggestion will be appreciated.

thanks in advance

You can check intent FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP, FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY or FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK.

thanks. but it didn't worked out. But i manage to escape out from this problem by declaring android:excludeFromRecents="true" on dialog activity in manifest file. – Krishna Shrestha May 03 '12 at 12:22
