You can't directly replace the root. The only way I can think off-hand to do this is to use CLEAR_TOP when starting the same activity component as your current root to send an intent down to that root (and finish all of the activities in-between, and then handle onNewIntent() there to see this intent and start the new desired activity and finish itself.
