Stop an app by calling the lifecycle callbacks

Question

How can I stop my whole App in simple terms? (all activities, services, Threads, etc. simply everything) The life-cycle callbacks (especially onStop() and onDestroy()) should be called.

Google suggests the following possible solution:

• kill the process: but this wouldn't call the lifecycle callbacks
• and finish(); but this is only for one Activity:

But is it possible to access this method from outside like:

//Getting all activityies, how?
//For each gotten activity
AcitvityName.finish();
or via or via getParent().finish(); ?

This did not help me: Best way to quit android app?

Answer 1

 @Override 
public void onPause() {        

        if(isFinishing()){
//code to finish() all activitys threads etc.....
}            

    super.onPause();
} 

in onPause() you can check for isFinishing() and then if it is finishing it goes to onDestroy() so you can execute some code youd like

Answer 2

Use a broadcast receiver to call all your activities and call finish locally in them, invoking the current lifecycle callbacks.
