It is the right approach... but it seems like that post and the chosen answer are dealing with killing/terminating an app, not figuring out a way of finishing it, which explains Romain's answer.
It's a terminology thing... most developers who start working on android aren't familiar with the concept of "always running, never quitting" applications... applications "live" when you start them and "die" when you close them. So once they read that Android keeps "running" your app even when you "close" it, they might think you can't "exit" it from any activity you're in (which is wrong, since, you can).
