System.exit() does not kill your app if you have more than one activity on the stack

Use android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); this way.

for sample 

public void onBackPressed() {
    android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
    super.onBackPressed();
}

I hope this will help you.
