How do Task Managers kill apps?
You can send the signal using:
Process.sendSignal(pid, Process.SIGNAL_KILL);To completely kill the process, it's recommended to call:
ActivityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(PackageName)before sending the signal.
slayton has good answer in this question.I add this detail to his answer:
- when you use ActivityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(PackageName) , you can not kill foreground process.
