Finishing an Activity from a Broadcast Receiver

by

write the code in your receiving broadcast now this will send another broad cast with the intent named “com.hello.action”

Intent local = new Intent();
local.setAction("com.hello.action");
sendBroadcast(local);

Now catch this intent in the activity with you want to finish it and then call the super.finish() on the onReceive method of your receiver
like this 

public class fileNamefilter extends Activity {
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();

    filter.addAction("com.hello.action");
    registerReceiver(receiver, filter);

    }
BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        finish();

    }
};

public void finish() {
    super.finish();
};
}

this will finish the activity
