-----------------------------
Interestingly though, there are apps that continue to work and return to the
state they were at after a user selects a photo And returns to the app. There's
gotta be some way to fix it. I'm not that familiar with Android yet though.
Perhaps you guys can implement some type of API that puts the web app back at a
certain state based on a hash tag or something?... i'll be getting deep enough
into Android soon and will post if I find a solution.

> Key: CB-1458
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1458
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, CordovaJS
> Environment: Android 4.x.x
> Reporter: trusktr
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
>
> As of version 4.x.x, Android introduced a new ability to limit background
> processes down to zero in Settings >> Developer Options >> Limit background
> processes.
> I'm not sure if this bug exists with the latest PhoneGap version, but I
> noticed it using PhoneGap apps for android from Google Play.
> After setting the option to "No background processes" I noticed the
> following. If I try to use the Media abilities of PhoneGap in an app to chose
> a photo or file from my system, then when the selector application returns,
> the PhoneGap app will restart from the beginning because it's background
> process was terminated.
> If I set the option back to "Standard limit" then everything works just fine.
> What do we do about this? Personally, I prefer to have the option set to "No
> background processes" to prevent apps from needlessly wasting resources. It
> works great and some apps won't get terminated if they subscribe to Android's
> messaging system the proper way and will be dormant.
> Anyways, with the setting turned to "No background processes", I've
> experienced apps that still work properly. I think there must be some way to
> fix this with PhoneGap.
> This is a big deal because users should be allowed to set the option to "No
> background processes if they so desire."
