And do check all the time before starting an activity. Please help me how to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

You can do it using SharedPreferences . When an activity is about to finish, write this event in the SharedPreferences . In the BroadcastReceiver , check this event.

PS: Let me know if you need more details on how to use it.

Answer 2

Make one satic counter for increment

Static int counter_Activity=0;

Do for all Three Activity

counter_Activity++;
finish();
pref = _context.getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, PRIVATE_MODE);
editor = pref.edit();
editor.putString(counter_Activity,Activity_name);
editor.commit();


For Checking in Brodcast Class.

pref = _context.getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, PRIVATE_MODE);
pref.getInt(1,Activity_name-1); 
pref.getInt(2,Activity_name-2); 
pref.getInt(3,Activity_name-3);
