My android device is 4.4.2 and it’s rooted.

To manage auto-start app, I installed Clean Master and allowed it for root access. Also I stopped many apps that start automatically.

To manage start-up app, I installed Boot Manager Xposed. Apart from these I installed other apps also for controlling auto-start and start-up app.

However, I see many unwanted background running apps and auto-start app.

Please go for screenshot. Whenever I close any apps, I remove them from Recent Apps also. And I keep Recent Apps empty/clean. However, most of time I see closed apps are still in Running Apps. 

I do End Process for all unwanted apps manually every time from Running Apps which is ridicules for me.

In screenshot, some apps like **My Airtel**, **Clean Master**, **Facebook**, **OneDrive**, **ET** News, **Practo** for health, **Fox** News, **Hindustan Times** News, **Flipkart** Shopping, **SuperBattery**, **Outlook** Email start automatically and very frequently. There are other user apps also that run in background automatically without tapping them.

Till the time, I don’t call/tap any apps, I don’t want see them in Running Apps and once I close any app, I don’t want to see them again in Running Apps.

Please let me know to control them.
