How to send email intent without message?

I'm trying to open an email application from my app, without sending any message. I just want to open the app, but when I'm using

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_APP_EMAIL)
startActivity(intent)

I can't go back to my application. When Gmail app opens, and I press back button, the my application isn't even on the app list. Is there any posibility to open the email app as another application?
