I was going to suggest killing the app programmatically but that is not good practice and might risk your app getting rejected by the store.

I don't think there is a way to exit the app from running in the background. Maybe you can try disabling the javascript from running when the app is in the background. Try this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/phonegap/8_XUXo0yOWQ

It has a few suggestions.

Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying.

Yes, normally it is not.

But after a lot of trying, I found the way to exit from background.
Add a window.close() can solve this problem.

I made a exitAppFromBackground() function for it.
The source code as below for your further test and reference.

// Name: exitFromBackground()
// Author: Matrix Lee
// Function: Exit app, and remove it from the background.
function exitAppFromBackground(){
    window.close();
    if(navigator.app){
        navigator.app.exitApp();
    }else if(navigator.device){
        navigator.device.exitApp();
    }
}

I have used this command to exit:

navigator.app.exitApp();

But... just to Android. As far as I know, Apple do not permit this. In my apps, when running under iOS, I hidden the button EXIT.
