Android return from browser to app

I have option in my app to start browser and load imdb website. I'm using ActionView for this.

        Intent intent1 = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse(website));

        try {
            activity.startActivity(intent1);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Toast.makeText(activity, R.string.no_imdb, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
        }

The problem occurs when I tap on back button. When default browser app is launched everything is ok. When Opera Mini app is launched, when I tap on back button, it seems like my app receives two back actions, and finish my current activity.

How to prevent this?

Also You can Use Airbnb DeepLink lib

Example

Here's an example where we register SampleActivity to pull out an ID from a deep link like example://example.com/deepLink/123. We annotated with @DeepLink and specify there will be a parameter that we'll identify with id.

@DeepLink("example://example.com/deepLink/{id}")
public class SampleActivity extends Activity {
  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    if (intent.getBooleanExtra(DeepLink.IS_DEEP_LINK, false)) {
      Bundle parameters = intent.getExtras();
      String idString = parameters.getString("id");
      // Do something with idString
    }
  }
}

Please add this code to your android manifest for activity that you need return

    <activity
        android:name="YourActivityName"
        android:launchMode="singleTask">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="schemas.your_package.YourActivityName" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />

        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

and add this to your web page

<a href="intent:#Intent;action=schemas.your_package.YourActivityName;end">click to load app</a>

because only one app has this action name (schemas.your_package.YourActivityName) on your phone, web page directly return to app

Try starting the intent in a new task:

intent1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

Or 

intent1.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
