    Only the first one will get the actual process Id and properly kill the process. The other examples will fail because you’re passing the wrong process id to killProcess().

    From the docs:

    myPid() – Returns the identifier of this process, which can be used
    with killProcess(int) and sendSignal(int, int).

    myTid() – Returns the identifier of the calling thread, which be used
    with setThreadPriority(int, int).

    myUid() – Returns the identifier of this process’s user.

    killProcess(int pid) – Kill the process with the given PID.

    See the docs for more details.
