I think the built-in activity stack and flags are quite good for simple app logic, but if you have a complicated app, I'd suggest just use startActivity() and finish() on all your activities and manage the app flow yourself. This is what I do and it gives you more control over what's going on and the user won't get stuck in "back-button hell" where, if you have your app coded incorrectly, they have to press the back button multiple times to exit the app. The drawback of managing your own flow is that if you have activities that are reachable in different ways, you will have to extra complexity of having to pass in some kind of "next activity" flag via the intent extras.
