Im posting this answer, since the chosen as best solution was not working for me.

This is the updated version:

First create this service class:

 public class ExitService extends Service {


    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) {
        System.out.println("onTaskRemoved called");
        super.onTaskRemoved(rootIntent);
        //do something you want before app closes.
        //stop service
        this.stopSelf();
    }
}

Then, declare this way your service in the manifest label:

Now, just start the service wherever you want to do something before your app closing.

 Intent intent = new Intent(this, ExitService.class);
        startService(intent);
