Login activity needs to have android:launchMode="singleTop" in Manifest file. Here's the link for stack and back stack.

You also need to remove loginPageIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); as that will create a new task and put Login as root.

same issue on device back button cliked all previous are shwoing – Sep 25 '13 at 11:53
Updated the answer. You need to remove `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` flag – gunar Sep 25 '13 at 11:56
same no effect on device back button pressed all previous are shwoing – Sep 25 '13 at 11:59
and if you replace `getApplicationContext()` with `CurrentActivity.class` - where CurrentActivity is your current activity class? – gunar Sep 25 '13 at 12:02
And one extra thing: all your activities MUST be on the same task. How are you starting `ActivityX`? You shouldn't have `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` every time you show a new activity as that will create a new task – gunar Sep 25 '13 at 12:04
Intent newIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityNew.class); startActivity(newIntent); this how i am staring every activity – Sep 25 '13 at 12:05
How can you be sure the activities are all in the same task? replace `getApplicationContext()` with current activity instances ... as there are other contexts each time – gunar Sep 25 '13 at 12:07
same issue no effect i have done the changes as u suggested me – Sep 25 '13 at 12:13
Are you finishing the current activity once you start a new one? – gunar Sep 25 '13 at 12:16

// check sharedPreferences in all activities
// when you press back button then it will close activity
@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    int userId = sharedPreferences.getInt(Login.user_id, 0);

    if(userId==0){
        finish();
    }
}

you can simply force the activity to NOT leave a history in your backstack. This can cause trouble, but should work fine as long as your activities are called linear.

Add the line with noHistory to the manifest:

<activity
        android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"           
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"

        android:noHistory="true" >
</activity>

You can use another way i.e adding activity in an arraylist of type activity and finish the activity you want from any other activity.
