Answer 1

I got the solution, Usually we need to code before super.onBackPressed() to be called.

So change your code in to this

public class List extends PreferenceActivity {
// do some stuff
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
List.this.finish ();
}

Edit :

So here is my final answer paste this custom exit activity in your package

public class ExitActivity extends Activity
{
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)
    {
        finishAndRemoveTask();
    }
    else
    {
        finish();
    }
}

public static void exitApplication(Context context)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExitActivity.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
    context.startActivity(intent);
}
}

add in manifest

        <activity
        android:name=".ExitActivity"
        android:autoRemoveFromRecents="true"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay" />

And call it with

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
ExitActivity.exitApplication(getApplicationContext());
}

Good luck
