May be this can be helpful in getting your answer How to close Android application?

I got some code..may be this is helpful to you

Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
                    startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
                    startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    startActivity(startMain);

call this on your button's click event,It'll exit the application and yes..before you exit.just call System.gc()..I know it's just a warning.but it may be helpful in releasing some memory

Using System.exit(0); is not recommanded but works.

In fact it's better to do something like : System.gc(); finish();

This will ask the system garbage to start cleaning clean, then finishing properly the apps.
