I just had another thought as I was reading through the Android Start-up routines etc.
What about having a system service(in the /frameworks/base) and allowing it to be started from the System Server of Android? This service could detect the Dalvik App and kill it. Although this may not be done at the kernel level, it is still handled in the Android Framework. How about this idea?
