Thanks for your replay. And i went through the link , which you specified.
As i understood process will be killed by android only. But my question is "Why does user has to wait till android closes particular application, Instead why doesn't user do this"? Instead of waiting till android system cleans all the resources used by the application , It is more efficient if user able to clean all the resources used by the application. Especially it is useful in embedded environment like mobiles. If you take any game and user does not have any option to close the game . Then the application has to wait for android system to clean resources , which are owned by the application. But these type of applications are not used by the user regularly(Generally Once in a day or week).
