I don't know how it's doing this, but this app will continue to use the GPS even after it's killed from the task management bar.

The only way to stop it from using the GPS is to rerun the app and disable background updating. That or disallow Latitude from the Location Services settings.

It doesn'开发者_如何学Got seem to drain the battery like other GPS apps though, so my guess is it's using triangulation. That or it's not polling that frequently.

How can I do that?

Please help me..

It is probably using the region monitoring apis. This allows for location monitoring without actively using your GPS. It grabs location based on wifi and cell triangulation combined with the normal phone activity. It makes this location information public to other apps to use. (location information is stored at OS level, not app to app sharing).

The only way to disable location monitoring is to revoke the apps rights to location services. So if you keep the app around, there isn't much you are going to be able to do. But know that the hit to your battery should be minimal.
