Answer 1

Add this to the Activity tag of the Activity in Manifest file, that you don't want to show up in the recent apps list:

android:excludeFromRecents="true"

Documentation:

Whether or not the task initiated by this activity should be excluded from the list of recently used applications ("recent apps"). That is, when this activity is the root activity of a new task, this attribute determines whether the task should not appear in the list of recent apps. Set "true" if the task should be excluded from the list; set "false" if it should be included. The default value is "false".
