Force Closing Thread in Android

Vote count:

In my android application I am using a thread to download some data.

Here is a prototype of currently working code:

void startThread()
{
    thread = new Thread(this);
    thread.setPriority(Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
    thread.start();
}

@Override
public void run()
{
    while(application_running)
    {
        //download my data...
    }
}

Problem occurs when downloading data form the server is very slow. Although i close the application: data download thread remains alive. But i need this thread to close immediately after application close.

Is there any way to force close it? Or any other standard way to download data?
