I'd loved to see a bit of discussion from the folks involved in the idea of having of all of these services in one module. It might be the right thing but i'd love to hear the pros and cons.

My belief is that this is not a submodule for Fennec.  Much of this is 
standalone Java code that isn't inherently app specific, and could be used to 
support multiple/different applications.  To me, the closest equivalent for 
this module would be Toolkit, which is generally where this type of code lives 
for desktop apps.

That said, I don't think it's necessary to pre-constrain scope here.  If we get 
to a future where it doesn't make sense to depend on this module for a new app, 
I would expect that we'd have a discussion about the best path forward 
regardless of how the lines are drawn on paper.

This is a nit, but the name and/or placement in the module tree could (should?) 
specify that this is a submodule of the Firefox-on-android product?  I can 
imagine a future where we have other things on android which have background 
services, and I would expect if such a future were to occur we'd have a 
reasonable discussion about whether the same codebase should be used or not.
