Finish is not working - activity

Question

I want to finish my activity, tried:

finish();
Activity.this.finish();
finishAffinity();

killing process...

It's how I am opening activity from service:

           Intent a = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Axctivity.class);
        a.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
                | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
                | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(a);
        stopSelf();

After finish, activity is succesfully hidden but still stay on runnining apps list when I can restore it.

@Qiteq sorry but not, it's normal appcompat activity I used finish in onCreate and onRestart, nothing more. — MakingMoneyWithAndroid, Oct 22 '16 at 19:39
"still stay on runnining apps list" -- Android does not really have a "running apps" list. Do you mean the *recent tasks* list, that you get from pressing the RECENTS button (or, on devices lacking that button, long-pressing HOME)? — CommonsWare, Oct 22 '16 at 19:44
@CommonsWare - yes! exactly this list, device button with tasks. I want to remove it completly from this place. — MakingMoneyWithAndroid, Oct 22 '16 at 19:47
@CommonWare - you should put in in answer, to grant you correct answer. android:excludeFromRecents="true" made the job. Thx for right direction — MakingMoneyWithAndroid, Oct 22 '16 at 19:50

It's how finish() works. It doesn't destroy the object nor the activity. The android OS keeps the processes around to speed up getting back into the applications. See what exactly Activity.finish() method is doing?
