How to detect globally when Android is shutting down my Application instance?

You can't do that. User/Environment can kill the application manually on production. Android would not give you any feedback about this.

P.S. If you're using emulated process environment you can take a look at Application onTerminate method.

I am not an experienced android developer. But as a beginner, I think you can use the onDestroy() method of the Activity.

It's a good idea for you to look into the Lifecycle of the Activity.

(Search for Lifecycle in the following link) http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/activities.html
