On logout, clear Activity history stack, preventing “back” button from opening logged-in-only Activities

by

I can suggest you another approach IMHO more robust.
Basically you need to broadcast a logout message to all your Activities needing to stay under a logged-in status. So you can use the sendBroadcast and install a BroadcastReceiver in all your Actvities.
Something like this:

/** on your logout method:**/
Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent();
broadcastIntent.setAction("com.package.ACTION_LOGOUT");
sendBroadcast(broadcastIntent);

The receiver (secured Activity):

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    /**snip **/
    IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
    intentFilter.addAction("com.package.ACTION_LOGOUT");
    registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            Log.d("onReceive","Logout in progress");
            //At this point you should start the login activity and finish this one
            finish();
        }
    }, intentFilter);
    //** snip **//
}
