i know that this question is asked many times, but really i can't understand the answer, i want to set button, when user click it i want to exit the application (also the carbage collector should remove the objects), and after exiting i want to go to the screen where the user found the application icon on mobile.

for exit i don't know what to do

for going to the screen where to find the application icon i tried like this

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

but doesn't work
