Android email intent without message-CodePudding

I'm trying to open email application, but without sending Email, I just want to open 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. After Gmail app open, when I press back button, the application isn't even on app list. Is there any posibility to open email app as anothen application?

   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_APP_EMAIL);
    getActivity().startActivity(intent);
