dont want few activities to be available in history

I have a Dashboard/Home Activity where I show multiple icons to different Activitys. My requirement is that, whenever I minimize my app I want to resume to Home Activity and not to any of the child activities.

I tried 

noHistory="true"

in manifest for those child activities.

But one Activity e.g. A has its own child activities.so when I go to A and then its child Activity A_1 and press back I come to Home screen.

I have tried adding flag in intent

 FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET

But it did not work.

Also, I guess a less elegant approach would be to call finish() in the onPause() or onStop() methods of those child activities. This will make sure they are destroyed and will not be able to be returned to.

I think you need to use FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP when you minimize the App.

You can do this by setting intent flag on minimize event.

Intent intent= new Intent(A_1.this, HomeActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);

A-1, is the activity from where this event has been fired, and HomeActivity is the name of home/dashboard activity class.
