Close Application with locale? I use the locale app to automaticly start an obd-app (Torque) when I enter my car. This works well. Now I want to automaticly close that app when I leave my car. As there seem to be no Plugins to achieve this, so my idea is to use the Execute-Plugin to End the task using unix-commands.

Is there a "good" way to close an app? The "kill"-command seems to be a bad decision or am I wrong here?

Q: I see the Shortcut setting opens apps... how do I kill apps?
A: Android treats memory differently than a desktop computer. When leaving an app, it is paused rather than killed, so that returning to it later is faster. If Android needs more memory, it will automatically close apps that have been paused but have not been used recently. Because Android manages memory automatically, &quot;task killer&quot; apps are not necessary. Google has blocked &quot;task killer&quot; apps for Android 2.2 and later.
While it is not possible to &quot;kill&quot; apps on Android, the Shortcut setting can be used to simulate this behavior by bringing the Home screen to the foreground. To do this, simply create a new Shortcut setting that opens the &quot;Launcher&quot; or &quot;Home&quot; app (on HTC devices, the Launcher might be called &quot;HTC Sense&quot;). When the setting is fired, it will bring the Home screen to the foreground, pausing whatever application was previously on the screen.
