In your background page, use chrome.tabs.query(...) to get all tabs, then call chrome.tabs.remove(...) to close that, code will look like:

chrome.tabs.query({}, function (tabs) {
    for (var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++) {
        chrome.tabs.remove(tabs[i].id);
    }
});

You can only close windows/tabs that you create yourself. That is, you cannot programmatically close a window/tab that the user creates.

For example, if you create a window with window.open() you can close it with window.close().
