Nope, definitely never ever. The user must explicitly request this. > Or can I be sure that when it is the system that kills Services, it > never does anything else (such as unregistering alarms) ? By definition it does everything described: kill all processes, stop all services, unregister all alarms, remove all notifications.

The services with not be restarted; they are stopped. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
