Question

I am writing a application which can kill other running application. For this I am using following code

int pid = process.pid;
android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);
Log.e("killed",process.processName);

I am able to display all running application. But the above two line of code is not killing the process of application(com.sample.mango). Also I can see several task killing app in the market.

So my question is — Is it possible to kill running application from other application?

If yes then what is way to kill? (why the above code is not working)

Answer 1

Does Android allows these kind of apps? Isn’t this a service provided by operating system rather then third party App. I would hate if my app is getting killed by some third party App.
