Difference between finish() and finishAndRemoveTask() in Android App code.
In this video it shows the difference between the two APIs in Android - finish() vs finishAndRemoveTask().
finish() is basically to minimize the App's view so that the user cannot see the App's layout anymore. It is similar to pressing back button from App's home page to go back to Android OS screen.
finishAndRemoveTask() is similar to finish(). However, in addition to the functionality of finish() it also removes the App's task from the Android OS task manager. Hence, the App is no more accessible and cannot be resumed from the task manager. The only option for the user is to restart the App using the App's icon click.
