We know that when the system runs out of resources, an activity in background serializes its state and gets killed by the OS. When we resume it, the OS recovers the activity state by savedInstanceState passed to onCreate method. Considering we are responsible for handling what is going to be serialized/recovered, I’d like to have my activity killed in order to test the code I created for recovering. How can I achieve that? Forcing the application to be killed through the applications menu doesn’t help.

Rotate your device (or emulator). Android saves, destroys, and re-creates the activity in the new orientation.
