my android app don't close itself

Question

When I test my android application on my phone, the application don't want to quit and make a bug on my phone. My little app take 70MB on my phone and still alive all the day...

How can I close it?

Do I have to put a Listner for the button "return" or there is some methods made from the SDK???

Thanks !

EDIT: My application still runing, even if I press "HOME" ... this is not normal, is it?

you should find out why your "little app" takes 70MB (of what?) on your phone. Also you should be more specific what "won't quit" means... — WarrenFaith, Jan 02 '12 at 11:26
Android will stop your app when there is a need for it (when it is running in the background and the used resources are needed by another app). — THelper, Jan 02 '12 at 11:26

Application on mobile aren't meant to quit, because it's against the UX of mobile user.

Have a look at this discussion. Android: Is quitting an application frowned upon?

you can override onKeyDown function like this

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {

         finish();
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
