Hello PaoloMossa-0994,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I am developing an App with Xamarin on Android.

When building a Xamarin.Forms project on Android platform, all pages are shown on the MainActivity. To close the app, you could call the Finish method of MainActivity using DependencyService.

   [assembly:Dependency(typeof(DroidImplementation))]  
   namespace TestApplication1.Droid  
   {  
       public class DroidImplementation : MyInterface  
       {  
           public void QuitApplication()  
           {  
               var activity = MainActivity.Instance as Activity;  
               activity.Finish();  
           }  
       }  
   }  
     
   public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity  
   {  
       public static MainActivity Instance { get; set; }  
       protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)  
       {  
           base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);  
           Instance = this;  
           ...  
       }  
   }
