Android - Customize "your Recent Screens Appear Here" / "your Recent Apps" Screen

I realy dint know how this screen is named :/ i called it after the message it shows when no app is running 'your recent screens appear here'. It basicly shows all apps currently r

Solution 1:

there is actually no way to customize this page without changes in the OS.

still i found a workarround to get rid of the widget. when starting an App i add a flag that prevents it from beeing displayed in the recent apps screen. this way the user only sees the empty recent apps screen which has no widget.

Intent i = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(apps.get(pos).name.toString());
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
HomeActivity.this.startActivity(i);
