Android force Stop callback to application?

Question

If an app is forced stop by following the steps Settings->Application->ManageApplications -> --> Force Stop , Does android call the onDestroy of the Activity or the Applica

Answer 1

No. This isn't really possible. I haven't looked at the Android code in question, but I would imagine that "force stop" is just calling kill on the process ID of your app. So the only way you could intercept that is if you could trap signals, which I don't think Android allows.

If you were rooted, you could possibly do this, but not in any standard way.
