I am using following code to terminate background app(calculator). for that I have created a service When I am running app. It is not killing background process(calculator) Whats wrong with the code Ihave also given permission. "android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES" 

  ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Activity.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
                    List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> packageName = am.getRunningTasks(10);
                    // String packageName = am.getRunningTasks(1).get(0).topActivity.getPackageName();
                    for (RunningTaskInfo appinfo : packageName) 
                    {
                        if((appinfo.topActivity.getPackageName().toString()).indexOf("calculator2")!= -1)
                        {
                        Log.i(Tag,""+ appinfo.topActivity.getPackageName());
                        Toast.makeText(MyService.this, ""+appinfo.topActivity.getPackageName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        am.killBackgroundProcesses(appinfo.topActivity.getPackageName());
                        }
                    }

  • Your service only does this once, when it starts. If you are expecting it to happen more than one time you'll need to turn it into some kind of repeating code like a loop. – FoamyGuy Apr 17 '13 at 13:53

When we use this we do not need the "android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES" permission as well
