Can someone help me replicate the following scenario:

I’m having a activity A with some specific tasks from which the app goes to activity B. When the user goes to B and presses back the app should close (maybe meaning that activity A performed finish()). But in some cases the app (not on the user action) goes back to Activity A, with the state preserved to when it went to B. The thing is that the app can never know if it should preserve activity A to be re-displayed later or not.
Hope I made it clear. Many thanks

    You can populate your Activity A every time in its onResume(). For persistence you can use SharedPreferences.

    You can setup a BroadcastReceiver in Activity A which will call finish() for Activity A upon receiving a message. In the Activity B just before you close you then send that message to Activity A’s broadcast receiver.
