The differerence between these two are as follows:

1.finish() you can use to end the activity in which you are right now present and also it will end one activity at one time.

2.In case of FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP,It will end all the activities those are on top of the current activities inside the stack.There may be more than one activity.

finish() android uses to end the activity by calling it in program. (Note, you can also use onDestroy()). FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP clears all the activities that are top of the current activities inside the Activity stack.

suppose you are starting activities one after another in the order A-->B-->C-->D,ie activity B started from activity A,activity C started from activity B and so on. Now calling startactivity(A) from activity D with intent flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP finishes all activities in between (here B and C) and starts A.

calling Finish() from your activity closes current activity
