Chrome extension: force popup.html to close

Question

I'm wondering is there anyway I can force popup.html to close?

Do you want to close it while your in the popup or some other page closing it? — Mohamed Mansour, Feb 08 '11 at 06:06

@MahbubulHaque Have the foreground bind an event listener to the background page. The background page triggers the event and the foreground responds by closing itself. – Sean Anderson Dec 20 '14 at 01:02
@SeanAnderson - could you point me to some code that illustrates this? – Sridhar Sarnobat Aug 21 '16 at 21:37
