It seems there's no public API for powering off the phone.

The closest would be to use the OS library, which has the reboot method, and the goToSleep method.

Only system applications can shutdown the device.
I don't think that there is an external app that will allow you to do it.

How can i call on application within my code ?

How can i call and run this app?
ciao e grazie

You will need to find the intent that starts this application.

You can find it with PackageManager.GetApplicationIntent: Basic4android - Phone
