Basically you want to switch the order of the current background and the previous background. To do this, you can start the previous activity and use the FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT flag:

startActivity(intent);

So if you have tasks A, B, C and task C calls startActivity() with activity B, then B will be brought to the front of the activity stack, with the resulting order A, C, B, which is what you were asking for.

See Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT
