    Are the processes in android
    asynchronous?

    Processes are neither synchronous or asynchronous, in any operating system. Forking processes is frequently asynchronous.

    Since, at the SDK level, you are generally unaware of what is going on in terms of processes, this question is moot for Android. Besides, just about everything in Android is asynchronous — startActivity(), for example.

    how can we conclude when the activity
    or process is finished or completed
    its execution.

    Generally, you should not care.

    You can specially construct a pair of activities, where the first activity uses startActivityForResult() and the second activity calls setResult(). Then, the first activity will be called with onActivityResult() to supply the result from the second activity. The result is triggered when the second activity closes (e.g., second activity calls finish(), user presses BACK button).
