List<         


        

Answer 1

You can't kill other tasks that way because the Kernel will enforce permissions. Try this instead:

ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService("activity");
activityManager.restartPackage(packageName);

you will need the following permissions in the manifest:

EDIT:

Actually restartPackage is deprecated. use killBackgroundProcesses() instead!
