I hope not. Task killers are more trouble than they're worth, IMO.
Android OS already provides a way to Force stop an application. And right
next to the Force stop button is the Uninstall button,

Do you think this will ever become available again in some form to 3rd
party apps? I understand the problems task killers caused, but there
are legitimate reasons for a user to force stop an app. (Like
automating closing programs after an event using a program like
Tasker.)

Could you elaborate on this?

Is there any way to replicate old behavior of task killers in froyo?
(i.e. kill everything associated with an app, including notifications
etc. and make it never come back, unless manually restarted)
It can be from command line using root.
Thanks

Hi Dianne,
Sorry to bother you.
Does the Force stop in the setting of android 2.2 also use
KillBackgroundProcess or use the system level API (developer can't
use directly) to make it?
I have tried the KillBackgroundProcess and adding the related
permission, but it can't stop the running app
Thanks for the extra info and apologies for falsely slandering your
API naming :)

killBackgroundProcesses works (you need a permission for it), but it
merely restarts the background services, so it's a little poorly
named.

Actually it does exactly what it says -- it kills a process. If an
