It was already asked here.
But basically there's no such function... Maybe you could keep a collection of all the activities and finish them yourself, but I doubt that's good practice.
Or if all your activities are in the same "stack" you could try the answer given by "user370305".

    Yep. I know that there are similar questions. However there is still no answer. FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP doesn't solve problem, however it is marked there as answer – Alexey Zakharov Oct 28 '11 at 10:55
  • That's true, so if you really want close all activities you'll have to create some sort of task manager that tracks all activities and create a loop to finish them all. Btw, I think [this](http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2010/05/when-to-include-exit-button-in-android.html) is an interesting blog post about an exit button in android apps (as I think that's what you're aiming for :)). – Glenn85 Oct 28 '11 at 11:56

There is another alternative. Whole application could be done using fragments with single activity. FragmentManager provide full control over fragments and it is possible to finish all of them.
