Starting main Activity every time

Question

I am having an issue with my app that is i need to call splashActivity i.e. main Activity every time when user launches an app by pressing the recent app button in the device when user has exit from the app by clicking back / home buttons. Is there anything i can do to make the things work.I tried using flag android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" but this is not working too.

don't. splashscreens are evil and go against proper application flow. — njzk2, Dec 17 '12 at 13:16
@njzk But i really want the flow because from splashscreen i have to call appropriate activity. — anshul, Dec 17 '12 at 13:20
You should probably look into your [Activity LifeCycle](http://stackoverflow.com/a/8516056/1134705). — jnthnjns, Dec 17 '12 at 13:27
post your manifest. `android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"` should do what you want. — David Wasser, Dec 17 '12 at 14:46
Like I said, please post your manifest. There's something strange here. We can help if you give us more information. — David Wasser, Dec 18 '12 at 09:22

as interesting When you kill process and your app visible (you see pages, not pressed home buttons)
your app be restarted

first you need this source

moveTaskToBack(true);  (in you MAIN page)
        android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

or

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

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

or

go in you MAIN page

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), [MAIN].class);
                i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                startActivityForResult(i, 1);

and in your main class

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        moveTaskToBack(true);
        android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
    }

yes , you right, or how restart program..? if i understand you need destroy activity? — Max Usanin, Dec 18 '12 at 08:20
