It's actually much simpler than that: apps don't "exit normally", they just get quiesced and killed. Unless somebody calls System.exit(), exit processing won't happen. Of course, on Linux, you can delete an open file and get the desired behavior anyway. (If you run "adb shell am", logcat will show a bunch of babbling as the VM in the "am" process shuts down. You'll never see this for an app process.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
