Try this one: 

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);


if (navigator.userAgent.match("Android"))
{
    document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, true);
}
function onBackKeyDown(e) 
{navigator.app.exitApp();}

Because of the android life cycle (how apps are managed, cached etc.) it is not recommended to close apps. The user should just minimize it. You can stop all background-threads using onPause() method, if you have any.

By force-closing you will drain some battery, because android has to reload everything instead of loading a cached version.
