Welcome to Android Central!
No, it doesn't clear apps that were running at the time the phone was rebooted. If you need to clear that list, tap on the multitasking button (it's the left-most button on Samsung phones, and right-most button on nearly every other Android phone) and clear them from there.
If you need additional help or have more questions or details to share, please join the site so you can reply in this thread. See
