[Q] Apps draining battery (Spotify, Netflix, Redbox, etc...)

[XDKYX]

So, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Great and very helpful site!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II and an SIII and SII before them. I'm a bit of a Samsung Galaxy fan.
I've noticed with these devices that apps like Spotify, Netflix and Redbox drain my battery like crazy but when I go to:
Settings / More / System manager / Application manager and scroll to these apps, then click the "Force stop" button it helps like crazy.
I've tried looking this up on the inter-webs and it appears that you're not supposed to do that?
I've also tried using task manager type apps to kill these programs when I'm done with them but even though these apps say that the progs are killed I still have the "Force stop" button highlighted and my battery draining in the background.
Please help me understand this? My next thought is to as for help writing a simple bit of code that kills all of the apps that I hardcode in the program.

This Greenify program is perfect! It does exactly what I was looking for. I pick the apps that I want to participate in this and it creates a hibernate shortcut on my desktop. I click the shortcut and it "Forces Close" all of the apps that I pre-chose! Thank you!
