Would it be possible to expand on this at all? My (perhaps incorrect)
method of testing behavior with a service that is always running is by
killing the process from adb shell. I think I've always seen something
in the logcat about the service being scheduled to restart in 5
seconds. This is true either with a startForeground notification icon
or with out. I'm guessing that in some cases it might be more than 5
seconds and that's why the 5 minute alarm is a good idea?

Thanks,
