The first way Needs root Use kill   adb shell ps    Will list all running processes on the device and their process ids adb shell kill  lt PID gt     Instead of  lt PID gt  use process id of your application  The second way In Eclipse open DDMS perspective  In Devices view you will find all running processes  Choose the process and click on Stop     The third way It will kill only background process of an application   adb shell am kill  options   lt PACKAGE gt     Kill all processes associated with   the app s package name   This command kills only processes that are safe to kill and that will not impact the user experience  Options are   --user    all   current  Specify user whose processes to kill  all users if not specified   The fourth way Needs root adb shell pm disable  lt PACKAGE gt     Disable the given package or component  written as  package class     The fifth way Note that run-as is only supported for apps that are signed with debug keys  run-as  lt package-name gt  kill  lt pid gt   The sixth way Introduced in Honeycomb adb shell am force-stop  lt PACKAGE gt     Force stop everything associated with   the app s package name    P S   I know that the sixth method didn t work for you  but I think that it s important to add this method to the list  so everyone will know it

If you have a rooted device you can use kill command  Connect to your device with adb   adb shell   Once the session is established  you have to escalade privileges   su   Then  ps   will list running processes  Note down the PID of the process you want to terminate  Then get rid of it  kill PID
