A suggestion would be that you register a broadcast receiver in all your activities with "finish()" in their onReceive() & whenever you wish to quit you can simple pass an intent indicating that all activities must shut down..... Although make sure that you do "unregister" the receiver in your onDestroy() methods.

something like this

            @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
        filter.addAction("end");
        receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                finish();
            }
        };
        registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
}


  protected void onDestroy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDestroy();
         unregisterReceiver(receiver);
    }

And when you wish to finish this from another activity just do this

Intent i = new Intent("end");
                sendBroadcast(i);

Option 1: use Fragments

Option 2: from first activity use startActivityForResult then when the second activity is finished cathc in onActivityResult. There finish the first activity then start game.

Option 3: Send a broadcast message and in the first activity receive it and finish it.

There might be other options. Just put down some options which came immediately in my mind. If I were you I would use Option 1

This will kill all top activities and start new Activity NewGame.

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NewGame.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
