My device is rooted and I'd like to perform that action but I don't know how.
There is a complete guide to commands and so on ?

Thank you in advice.

Hi,

You can try action Execute Root Command with command am kill-all. The documentation provided by Google reads:

am kill-all: Kill all background processes.

You can find other interesting stuff by executing command am (without options). I recommend to connect the device to a PC and use adb to experiment with such command line tools. There are other tools available on Android that provide other interesting features: pm, input, svc, dumpsys.

Thank you !

Im sorry to say that the command don't kill the app (on my rooted device) too bad ...

Maybe it's not a background process or Android restarts the process. You can use command am force-stop <package> to kill the app.

To me still don't work, I have a terminal emulator too: someone can tell me the command to run on a terminal emulator to killa an app?
So I can check if it's a system problem or an app problem.

Thank you !

Thank you , but where are you givin this line ? In a terminal emulator or in a flow ?

What does it means " 79 s16" ?

Thank you

I use it in a flow. Create an action for root command. I use it inside my sidebar overlay

I cannot explain what it does. For sure google knows more.

service call activity 79... is probably the same as am force-stop...

activity is the name of the system service. The relevant part of source can be found here: https://android.googlesource.com/platfo ... nager.java
Scroll down to line 544 which reads int FORCE_STOP_PACKAGE_TRANSACTION = IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION+78;
IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION is 1 + 78 --> 79

am is a utility to call the same functions on the activity manager that are also accessible with service call however am is more stable since Google will ensure that it works on different versions of Android. The number 79 could be wrong on other versions of Android so 79 might suddenly uninstall an app or clear the data.
