Closing chrome custom tab

In my use case, I have a page that deep links back to my app. When I open this page in Chrome custom tab, I am able to get back to my app by clicking the deep link but the issue is when I click on the device back button, the chrome tab is still visible.

Is there any way I can close the chrome custom tab when the user is back to my app/activity.

As @Jaspinder Kaur mentioned: you need to add this on your flag:

mCustomTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder().build(); 
mCustomTabsIntent.intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HI‌​STORY)

AND:

If you set your app to be singleInstance or singleTop, then when you go back to it using an intent, the framework will finish Custom tab activity as well.

Setting the below flag while opening chrome custom tab seems to resolve the issue for me http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY
