Answer 1

Remove the notification on onDestory function of Activity.

Answer 2

You need to clear it when you close your application. This means, have an onDestroy call.

If your notification is something like:

private static final int MY_NOTIFICATION_ID= 1234;
String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
mNotificationManager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

Then you need to implement the following to close it:

protected void onDestroy() {
   super.onDestroy();
   mNotificationManager.cancel(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID);
};

I grabbed this information from the following posts:
