This line should not end with '&' and should probably come before the
"arecord" line

You should use "kill %1" instead, this will only kill the instance you
just started (and TERM is the default). For that, you need to enable job
control (set -m)

Result:

#!/bin/bash
# Exit on error
# Enable job control
set -em
zenity --question --title="Voice-note" --text="Click Validate to START
recording"; gostart=$?

if [ "$gostart" = 1 ]
    then
        echo "Operation canceled"
        exit 1
    else
        echo "Recording..."
fi
alsactl -f /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/voip-handset.state restore
arecord -D hw -f cd  -v -t wav ~/rec-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M).wav &
zenity --info --title="Voice-note" --text="Click Validate to STOP recording"

# Kill arecord
kill %1
alsactl -f /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state restore
zenity --info --title="Voice note" --text="Your voice-note has been
recorded"

#END OF FILE
