Close the all Activity of Current Application and launch Play store

Is it possible to start an implicit activity on the stack, by clearing the entire history before it?

I am creating an application which have a concept of force upgrade from playsotre. therefore I want to open play store at some moment and same moment I also want to close my application basically I want clear all activity of my Application after opening play store, but it didn't work.

My code snip:

btnForceUpdate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent goToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
                        .setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + context.getPackageName()));
                goToMarket.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // clearing all activity task (Basically close the app)
                mDialog.cancel();
                context.startActivity(goToMarket);
            }
        });

I am using below flag in intent object but it didnt work

goToMarket.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // clearing all activity task (Basically close the app)

  try {

        final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + getPackageName()));
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        finishAffinity();
        startActivity(i); // 

   } catch (final android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

Or if you want it to work in previous versions(< 15 API) of Android:

ActivityCompat.finishAffinity(this);

You need to make one activity with start google play like below

public class CloseActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);

    final String appPackageName = getPackageName(); 
    try {
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
        finish();
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
        finish();
    }
}

}

Need to start this activity from class with below code:

Intent mIntent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this,CloseActivity.class);
mIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(mIntent);
finish();
