Get the PID of a process to kill it, without knowing its full name

Question

I'm coding an Android application. Now I'm going to a part where the application should kill a process. But I don't know its full name or its PID. I Know the commands: ``` android.os.Process.killProcess(Pid) ``` and ``` android.os.Process.getUidForName("com.android.email") ``` But my problem is that I don't know the full name of the process. It's an native code process, so not something like com.something.something The process is `/data/data/com.something.something/mybinary` but it's running with commands like ``` /data/data/com.something.something/mybinary -a 123 -b 456 ``` because of this I can't use ``` android.os.Process.getUidForName("/data/data/com.something.something/mybinary") ```

Accepted Answer

You can use:

```
ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager)getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
 List<RunningAppProcessInfo> services = manager.getRunningAppProcesses();
 String service1name = services[1].processName;
```

You can get all running process's package names, check which one you want to kill, choose that process get process id by service.pid.

And call:

```
android.os.Process.killProcess(service.pid);
```
