Hide apps on overview screen, Android 5.0 lollipop

Hello -

I am trying to hide an app so that it doesn't show up on the android overview app screen - this is the swipe to close screen that shows up when you tap on the lower right hand corner of the nexus 5 and it shows all your running apps and you can swipe them away to close them. I would like to know how to make an app NOT show up in this list, even if it is currently running.

Please note, I am not looking for how to hide apps on the home screen or in the app drawer.

My device is a nexus 5, and I am currently running android 5.01

Thanks!

I am OK with rooting, or installing custom kernals, or the like, if that helps at all..
