How to open YouTube video link in android app

Question

How to open a YouTube link, and then when it opens in the app, it should close the YouTube app and again call my Main Activity which opens the YouTube app. It should however open the YouTube app from scratch and not show the previous YouTube Activity in background.

Main Activity --> Second Activity --> YouTube --> Third Activity --> YouTube

But I want the YouTube app to load again from scratch. But currently, I am getting the previously opened YouTube app which was in the background.

MainActivity

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,ThirdActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

SecondActivity

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(link)));
sleep(10000);
Intent intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ThirdActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

ThirdActivity

sleep(5000);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"third",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(),SecondActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

I want to load it from scratch, but it's showing me the state where it was paused.

The below code will do that:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, "your youtube url here"); startActivity(intent);

if you want to load the url in your activity give a webview and run the url
