Google does recommend this - the reason being is if you kill an app before it's done syncing data, you could experience some data loss. That's the main problem with killing apps - you should only kill an app if it's causing issues, not just every app because you 'feel' there's not enough RAM - linux is pretty efficient at handling RAM, so you really shouldn't need to kill apps.
