Use ActivityManager to get the stack position of activity which u want

May use the following example code 

ActivityManager mngr = (ActivityManager) getSystemService( ACTIVITY_SERVICE );

List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskList = mngr.getRunningTasks(10);

to get the position of activity which u want use the below code for ur requirement

taskList.get(0).topActivity.getClassName()

and position start from o(zero).

Hope this will help you.

This is possible.

What you need is an activity that extends Application. You also declare this in your manifest.

Android global variable

You then declare a variable within this class:

      public static int count = 0;

Then within each class you have

 @Override
 protected void onResume() {
    YourApplicationClass.count++;

 }

 @Override
 protected void onPause() {
   YourApplicationClass.count--;
 }

You then know what position you are at all the time.

System.out.println("Count is: "+YourApplicationClass.count);

There is no other way to know this, because of how the Tasks are designed. See this and this So a solution could be to keep track of the activities by storing them in an array of activities. I hope this helps.
