Close started Activity

I am starting following activity:

Intent messageIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse(SMS_PREFIX + number));
context.startActivity(messageIntent);

I want to close it immediately like:

context.startActivity(messageIntent);
context.stopActivity(messageIntent);

How can I do it ?

Why are you calling startActivity in first place?

If you need to do that , you can call finish() in oncreate() method of the new activity and then it will close immediately.

AFAIK you can't.

Activities are finished either by user interaction (AKA: back button) or with an explicit call to finish(); https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#finish()

finish() is a public method, so if you have a direct reference to the instance of the activity you can call if from whatever object you want. But not implicitly via intent.
