Random Activity opens instead of Launcher Activity

Question

After exiting from my app if i open it again random activities open instead of Launcher Activity. The problem continues even after putting in manifest. I have set the category as DEFAULT as shown in the code below. In the main activity i have put the code (given below) to exit the app on back press.

 //Android Manifest -- i have set all activities as DEFAULT except LAUNCHER activity.
<intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
 </intent-filter>



@Override// In Main Activity I have put this code to exit app when back is pressed
public void onBackPressed() {

                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
                    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
                    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    finish();
    }

Does it open a random activity after you close the app by pressing the back button or the home button? — Parag Kadam, Jan 02 '16 at 09:21
@ParagKadam back button. home button will definitely open the previous activity — admin 7798, Jan 02 '16 at 09:22
Any specific reason to get rid of the `super.onBackPressed();` in your `onBackPressed()` ? — Parag Kadam, Jan 02 '16 at 09:24
Don't override the `onBackPressed() ` if you do not have a reason to do so. — Parag Kadam, Jan 02 '16 at 09:28

Have you tried setting the category to LAUNCHER like this

`<intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
