How to clear the back stack activity when the notification item is being clicked from status bar?

I am working on a chat project. When a push notification is being received from GCM, i need to navigate to the chat contact list and clear the previously opened activity of my application.

Adding "taskAffinity" and "excludeFromRecents" in the activity tag in the manifest along with the flag "FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK" in intent as saranya suggested did the trick for me.

<activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:taskAffinity=""
        android:excludeFromRecents="true">


val notificationIntent = Intent(this, 
MainActivity::class.java).setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or 
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK)
val pendingIntent: PendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0)

While passing the pending intent in GCMIntent Service, it is necessary to set flag for intent. The code is below. Please make use of it if anyone struggling with this concept.

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
        new Intent(this, MainActivity.class).setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | 
                Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK), 0);
