cordova navigator.app.close() is keeping app in background

Question

I'm trying to close my android app by calling cordova navigator.app.close(), app closes but still running in background and I can see it in app manager. I tried to solve this problem like it described there: PhoneGap keep running on Android after onPause by inserting

<preference name="keepRunning" value="false" />

in config.xml, but it doesn't work for me.

Are there some other ideas to solve this problem?

You only close app and app will in background, still in task manager util system remove it (low memory). — Hanh Le, Apr 23 '14 at 00:50

There doesn't appear to be a function called navigator.app.close(). Did you mean to call navigator.app.exitApp()?

Here is a list of all of the available functions from navigator.app:

navigator.app.backHistory();
navigator.app.cancelLoadUrl();
navigator.app.clearCache();
navigator.app.clearHistory();
navigator.app.exitApp();
navigator.app.loadUrl(url, props);
navigator.app.overrideBackbutton(override);

upgrade your Cordova version to 4.0+ and use navigator.app.exitApp();
