How to press back button in android programmatically?

Question

In my app I have a logout functionality. If user clicks logout it goes to home screen. Now I am exiting my app by pressing back button. But what I want is I need to exit automatically(i.e Programmatically) as same like as back button functionality. I know by calling finish() will do the functionality. But the thing is it goes to the previous activity.

onBackPressed() is supported since: API Level 5

@Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {     if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {         onBackPressed();     } }  @Override public void onBackPressed() {     //this is only needed if you have specific things     //that you want to do when the user presses the back button.     /* your specific things...*/     super.onBackPressed();    }
