Unpin application with adb shell commands in android lollipop

Summary

Is there a way to unpin apps in lollipop using shell commands

with adb iv tried: 

adb shell input keyevent --longpress 4 187

but this never worked

Why i want to do this

1) i'm making a root application that replaces the on screen navigation buttons and need a way to unpin other apps

2) when using a virtual device and i pin a app there is no way for me to press back and recents at the same time with my mouse

adb shell am task lock stop `dumpsys activity | grep -A2 '(dumpsys
activity recents)'| grep '#'| cut -d ' ' " \
                "-f 7| cut -c 2-

This works with Android 9+ devices

Try this command to unpin the foreground app:

am task lock stop `dumpsys activity | grep -A2 "(dumpsys activity recents)"| grep '#'| cut -d ' ' -f 7| cut -c 2-`
