Please create a small demo project and upload it (via "Export to ZIP" in the file menu)

Guess, StartActivity is not enough. Try to use moveTaskToFront (see attached example)

Thanks Semen
Still not working , did this test app work on your phone?
Something must be wrong on my device, i've tested the sample kiosk from Erel ,also not working.
Can there be software that is blocking this,
Maybe the problem is the Phone is kitkat 4.4.2

Starting from Android 5 (API 21) there is better support for kiosk applications.

I tested on two phones. More or less modern (OnePlus 5T, Oreo 8.1) and Samsung S4 (exactly KitKat 4.4.2).
Both work. Probably you are too hurry. Android loads a lot of services etc. Real delay after reboot maybe 2-3 minutes on Samsung S4.
Which phone do you use ?


Kiosk sample doesn't work on my Samsung S4 also. But this is a separate question and has another explanation.
