Question

Answer 1

If you want to kill background services use this .

List<ApplicationInfo> packages;
            PackageManager pm;
            pm = getPackageManager();
            //get a list of installed apps.
            packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(0);
            ActivityManager mActivityManager = (ActivityManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
            String myPackage = getApplicationContext().getPackageName();
            for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
                if((packageInfo.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM)==1)continue;
                if(packageInfo.packageName.equals(myPackage)) continue;
                mActivityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(packageInfo.packageName);
            }
