Re: [android-developers] Re: Task killer kills my application but android restarts my service, which i dont want

As of 2.2 all a task manager can to is kill a process while it is in the background, which could also happen to it from the OOM killer.  You just need to handle this case correctly, as it will happen even without a task killer

I don't know what you are actually trying to do in order to say what "handle correctly" means.

Thanks Hackbon,

I am running on 2.2, task killer is able to kill the process and new
process/service is restarted.

Have i used correct  flags in service while binding and starting
service ?

Mainly my notification icon is not cleared my icon.

Thanks,
JRC
