Let the second application send a intent broadcast, after receiving the broadcast, let the first application can clear the data. But any application cannot clear another application's data, even if it is possible, it is not elegant.

I believe you can do it if you modify the manifest of both apps to make them share the same data directory.

Add the android:sharedUserId property to the manifest of each app. 

android:sharedUserId="your.shared.id"

If they are the same and you sign them with the same key & alias, each of the appa can use/access the others private directories.
