Closing a process when Process ID & Process Name is known

[jhoondlani]

Hi All,

I am having a requirement that i want to close a process that is running from my application.

For Example :

If a pdf file is opened in the device, i want that if my application is launched it should close.

I am able to get the process id i.e 620 & process name : "com.htc.pdfreader"
by using

for (int i=0;i<appList.size();i++)
{
RunningAppProcessInfo rti = (RunningAppProcessInfo)appList.get(i);
Log.v( "", "PID"+rti.pid+"Process Name"+rti.processName );
}
Now, for closing this i have tried

android.os.Process.killProcess(Process ID);

But no success.

then i tried :

process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(rti.processName);
process.destroy();

again it was not successful.

Can you please let me know how this can be achieved.

Thanks
Jaya
