No, that red buttons kills the process -- watch the device's process list
right there in DDMS, you will see your app's process disappear, and then
get recreated with a new PID, easy to spot.
You should also see something like this in the logcat:
02-05 22:41:43.746 W/ActivityManager( 389): Force removing
ActivityRecord{417dab48 u0 org.kman.AquaMail/.ui.AboutActivity}: app died,
no saved state
02-05 22:41:43.746 I/WindowState( 389): WIN DEATH: Window{41ade3f8 u0
org.kman.AquaMail/org.kman.AquaMail.ui.AccountListActivity}
02-05 22:41:43.777 D/dalvikvm(10347): Late-enabling CheckJNI
02-05 22:41:43.777 I/ActivityManager( 389): Start proc org.kman.AquaMail
for activity org.kman.AquaMail/.ui.AccountListActivity: pid=10347 uid=10065
gids={50065, 3003, 1015, 1028}
02-05 22:41:43.817 D/Zygote ( 130): Process 10230 exited cleanly (1)
... followed by the relaunch of the new process for your application
(although this depends on logging in your own app -- I don't see anything
logged by the system when this happens... unlike with services, for
example).
Back to the original issue -- perhaps moveTaskToBack() followed by a
System.exit() after a delay?
