Android Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK do not work from Dialog

Question

I don't want user to be able to go somewhere back from my LoginActivity.

This works nice from MainActivity (from Navigation Drawer):

Intent intent = new Intent(this, LoginActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

Result - back stack is cleared.
But when I'm trying to call this from my custom Dialog:

private Context mContext;
Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, LoginActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
dismiss();
mContext.startActivity(intent);
((Activity)mContext).finish();

back stack isn't clear, I can go back from my LoginActivity to previous window.

Tried to search the reason, but no result till now.

I had a similar problem and adding android:launchMode="singleTop" to my activity in AndroidManifest.xml did the work.

I took the idea from this question

The same behaviour, no help. I suppose problem is that I'm calling all of this from my Dialog, but I cannot find the reason. – Goltsev Eugene Jul 08 '15 at 14:55
Does your MainActivity opens a dialog and then the dialog starts LoginAcitivity? – theBittor Jul 08 '15 at 18:28
Yes, in dialog there is a SignOut button – Goltsev Eugene Jul 08 '15 at 22:14
It starts LoginActivity, but then returns to MainActivity, in spite of the fact, that I've finished it – Goltsev Eugene Jul 08 '15 at 22:15

Try clearing your activity stack:

Set android:noHistory= "true" in your AndroidManifest.xml file in the <activity tag for the login activity.

It didn't work. Added this, but still pressing back returns me to previous screen. – Goltsev Eugene Jul 08 '15 at 14:53
