OnBackPressed Minimizes the app

Issue

I click on Settings button (new activity is presented to me) then I click on Android Home button (minimizes the app) then I select my app from thestack. I press back arrow (/or back), which minimizes my app (it should return me back to previous activity). There is no way I to go back only to kill the application.

I have parent activity defined in Manifest also it works well if I don't minimize application from Settings Activity.

Solution

I changed this for parent activity in manifest (in my case MainActivity) from: android:launchMode="singleInstance" to: android:launchMode="singleTask" and it works well.

full code:

    <activity
        android:name=".activity.MainActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask" />
    <activity
        android:parentActivityName=".activity.MainActivity"
        android:theme="@style/SettingsTheme"
        android:label="Settings"
        android:name=".activity.SettingsActivity"/>
