I have 2 Activities to explain the scenario
Activity B – Has back button and when I press the back button I go back to Activity A

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.putExtra("Title", "Sending the title back to MainActivity");
    setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
    finish();
}

where I have startActivityResult() method called but its always giving me resultCode = REQUEST_CANCELLED and the intent is also null

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PLAYBACK) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { 
            if (data != null && data.hasExtra("Title")) {
                String text = data.getStringExtra("Title");
            }
        }
    }
}

Its never coming into the onAcitivityResult method in Activity B

I tried few things in onBAckPressed() method

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.putExtra("Title", "Sending the title back to MainActivity");
    setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
    finish();
    super.onBackPressed() ------> Added this instead of finish()
}
