Answer 1

Try Launching the foreign activity with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY

A process is not the same as an Activity, and it's not your concern if a process (even your own) remains alive when not in use, as Android will dispose of it when appropriate.

You should never try to kill foreign processes (you can't anymore anyway), and the situations where you want to kill or end your own are rare (mostly for testing to make sure you can recover).
