Android parent activity

I have this in my manifest: 

<activity
android:name=".PimMediaActivity"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">

       <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
        android:value=".SettingsActivity" />

</activity>

On my PimMediaActivity which has SettingsActivity declared as its parent in the manifest, I have a custom back button. There are cases like from push notification where I need to start the PimMediaActivity directly, but I want to be able to go back to the parent activity when the button is clicked. Is this feature only working with the ActionBar back button ?!

You should put this : 

<activity
    android:name=".PimMediaActivity"
    android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
   android:parentActivityName=".activities.SettingsActivity" >

            <!-- Parent activity meta-data to support 4.0 and lower -->
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
                android:value=".SettingsActivity" />
        </activity>

Are you interested in retrieving the app state from before opening notification?

If no, you can just call startActivity(Intent) in onClick() method..
