There's certainly no way to do this on vanilla Android.  Additionally,
this seems like a really bad idea, it's like saying "I'm going to
unplug the internet connection every time I need to do a secure
computation."  Why don't you specify more completely what you fear
will happen and what the threat model is and perhaps people can point
you in the right direction?
