There isn't a right way to kill a process, you just shouldn't be doing it, quite literally I'm not even sure you can. These aren't "normal" Linux or Java processes, they're managed by the system. You can call finish(), which may shortly result in your process being killed by the system, but it may not.
You have no access to processes other than your own. Each application runs with its own user id, and normal Linux user isolation applies.
