How to remove application history in Android?

Question

I have an application in which I want to show a custom activity(Access Denied) when user try to share an image.

When I am trying to share an image from default 'Downloads' application (For eg: share image through default message/gmail application) the custom activity is showed and exits 'Downloads' application.But next time when I launch the 'Downloads' application and press on an image the previously created draft mail/message is shown as the top activity.So it shows the custom activity always.

Launched the 'Downloads' application by using this intent.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); 
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intent.setFlags( Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packagename,className));
startActivity(intent);

How can I fix this? I want to launch the 'Downloads' application as new (removing history of gmail/message etc.) every time.
