Is it
The Sun
As
Better to stay inside when it's sunny, people love The Sun but not to see it, The Sun hides behind clouds, so it keeps helping the life (esp. of the plants).

My guess is
Lightning/electricity
When I'm around, better stay inside
Don't want to get caught out in a lightning storm.

Personally I either love or hate to see a lightning storm... it all depends on how far away it is! It's great to look at when it's at a good distance, but I'm not a fan when it strikes a tree in the yard.
My task is too hide As my quest is for your life to be the key
We can see manifestations of electricity in the arcs of lightning or shorted wires, but electricity in and of itself is not visible to the naked eye. Electricity can be a killer for sure. And I attribute the 'key' reference to Ben Franklin's experiments.

A bit gruesome but might you be a
murderer
When I'm around, better stay inside
better not go outside when their's one reported in your neighbourhood
People love, but hate to see me;
It can be anyone, someone close to you that you might care about, but you would hate that person of you knew the truth
My task is to hide
His task is to stay undetected for others
As my quest is for your life to be the key
The key for being a murderer would be other peoples lives.

You may be ...
the rain.
When I'm around, better stay inside
If you don't want to get wet, you better stay inside or somewhere where you're protected from the rain.
People love, but hate to see me;
People (especially children) like the rain. And e.g. farmers need rain for their plants. However, usually you can't go outside doing sports or so and thus you hate to see it raining. Furthermore, raining may make you feel weak/depressed.
My task is to hide
However, I can't really use the third sentence. That's not a good sign, but it's worth a try ... :)
(Why should the rain try to hide?)
As my quest is for your life to be the key
Water (and therefore, raining as natural source of water) is the key of all life on earth.
