how can I completely destroy any third party running app by using its particular package name?

I have tried this code but it doesn't kill the app

ActivityManager mActivityManager = (ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE); mActivityManager.killBackgroundProcess(your package name);

First, your app has to have the appropriate privileges to do that. – Anis LOUNIS aka AnixPasBesoin Aug 06 '16 at 15:44
