About Kill This

The handiest task killer ever!
Kill any foreground application with a single tap on a sticky notification!

Full-screen apps? No problem! Press the home button, then use the sticky notification. "Kill This" will kill the most recent foreground app for you, even if you're on your Home already.

What could be easiest than this?

No rooting, just pure stock joy!

After downloading the application, just start it once and it'll install the sticky notification for you. (it also installs the notification automatically after reboot)
The notification is a nice little notification with stock looks. No vivid colors, just a handy little (x) icon.

Tested on Nexus One 2.3.3, G1 Cyanogen 6 and various emulators.

Please give me a good rating and send any bug reports / ideas / questions to adroid@ymail.com .

Like it, could use a hotkey like the long press back key, or other to close instead of having to go to the notifications.

Doesn't kill anything, just minimizes the app.

P70%
by P####:

Would be easier if it were simply a shortcut that could be assigned to keys or used in smart launcher apps. It CANNOT be used as a shortcut - apps close and immediately reopen.

awesome tool. if it would only work on 5.1.1 would get 5 stars

Q70%
by Q####:

This works well for me but it's too inconvenient to pull the notification panel. Awesome feature is simply an activity or even outright shortcut. In my case I would use this really conveniently in Tasker with UI Assistance Request; though probably not useful for many others. Either way, it's the only app I've found thats offering the functionality for those that don't have it and 5 stars for that alone.

It doesn't seem to actually kill tasks or processes, just backgrounds them. On all devices I've tried.

Anyone who says it does kill an app doesn't really know what killing an app is.

I dont think this works on Honeycomb. The killer says that the app was killed, but it still appears when you press the history button on the OS. Im not giving this a 1star though as I cannot tell for sure if it is working for me... plus the idea is awesome. Better than a task killer.

Best app so far with one click kill when system stucked with unresponsive running app! Strongly recommend! !!

S70%
by S####:

concept, total failed execution. As others said, doesn't really kill anything. Basically just closes ur window so it's running in the background instead of foreground. I wish this worked!

Doesn't REALLY kill. On Froyo, only way is through app manager. Check Froyo task killer.
