You cannot kill your application. The Android SDK does not allow this.

Try this. It will kill your application. All your services/receivers, Thread everything would be stopped.

public void onBackPressed() {
   System.exit(0);
}

As per android guidelines, you should not kill the application. You have to use finish() in each activity lifecycle to safely return to your initial activity and then exit the application.

If you want to exit the app in onBackPressed event on your initial activity, just calling finish() will do the job.

If service, stopSelf().
