Is there a way to stop an application running on the device?
I did not find anything searching the forum.

I need to stop running an app started by Shell function

Like this in VB6

B4X:

myAppRef=Shell("MyApp.exe", "MyArgs")
If MainProcessEnd then
    SendMessage(TERMINATEAPP, myAppRef)
Else
    SendMessage(APPACTIVATE, MyAppRef)
End if

Dig into this thread http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/748-dzeventsmagic.html#post3802

The example file ilustrates a windows spy app, able to kill any app running...

The Process object in my http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...ing-library-optimising-compiler.html#post8739 (you don't need to use Threads or optimise compile to use the Process object) is an enhanced Shell that can monitor a Process it has started for its exit and can close it cooperatively by CloseMainWindow or forcibly by Kill.
