Android - Kill an app when screen turned off or screen times out

Question

I want to kill / fully close an app so it doesn’t run even in the background when I press the screen turn on/off button or if the screen times out. I couldn’t find a solution anywhere on the internet. Can you guys help me out with a code snippet? Thanks
