use 'System. exit(0);' when you really want to exit the app.

You can do this through an Intent.

Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME); startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(startMain);

This Intent will start the launcher application that the user has defined. Be careful with this because this will look like your application crashed if the user does not expect this.
