android GET_TASKS Permission Deprecated

I've used GET_TASKS permission in my app in order to get previous intent.

private Intent getPreviousIntent(Intent newIntent) {
    final ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    final List<ActivityManager.RecentTaskInfo> recentTaskInfos = am.getRecentTasks(1024,0);
    String myPkgNm = getPackageName();

    if (!recentTaskInfos.isEmpty()) {
        ActivityManager.RecentTaskInfo recentTaskInfo;
        for (int i = 0; i < recentTaskInfos.size(); i++) {
            recentTaskInfo = recentTaskInfos.get(i);
            if (recentTaskInfo.baseIntent.getComponent().getPackageName().equals(myPkgNm)) {
                newIntent = recentTaskInfo.baseIntent;
                newIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            }
        }
    }
    return newIntent;
}

In api level 21 getAppTasks is added instead of getRecentTasks.It is ok but the question is that how can i get previous intent lower than api level 21? Please help me in order to solve this issue?
