Answer 1

The app isn't actually running if it isn't consuming processor time (either running a service or presenting an Activity to the user). It may be in memory but Android's memory management model is designed that way and the app will be killed if something else needs the memory. onPause is a good indication that you may soon exit, and onDestroy should free up any resources that an exit button would.

If you absolutely must exit, you can use finish() instead, and/or try using the excludeFromRecents or noHistory flags in the manifest to avoid the crash. There should be a few others you can play around with, too.

See this question and the Process Lifecycle section of the developer docs.
