place this line in your application manifest

        android:name=".HomeActivity"
        android:excludeFromRecents="true"
</activity>

<activity
            android:name=".SecondActivity"
            android:excludeFromRecents="true"
    </activity>

. . . .

place this tag in side activity tag, which activity you have to hide from recent, place this tag to that activity.
