This is the Android way, close buttons should not be added to apps. As others have said, the OS handles memory, keeping apps loaded in memory so you can quickly switch back to them. When not in the foreground apps are paused, though the OS gives apps the option to have long running services to do background work, for instance a news app could fetch news articles at periodic intervals. Unless an app is misbehaving (in which case you're better off uninstalling it), there's no need to manually manage apps.
