"Murder" is commonly used to denote, the commission of a death 'on purpose' - also known as Homicide. There is also, 'Manslaughter" used frequently in vehicular deaths, which could mean that the death was not necessarily on purpose but occurred incidentally as a result of an unlawful or negligent act.

If all murders are homicides why aren't all homicides considered murder and what is an example of a homicide that is not a murder?

A charge of murder means the offender pre-planned (pre-meditated) the killing and did it on purpose (with criminal intent). Homicide just means someone killed another person. It may have been an accident or from negligence, in which the offender would still get a prison sentence, just not as harsh if he was found to be guilty of murder.
