[android-developers] Why does Android restart killed service?

Hi!

I have an application with an activity and a service. The service is
started by startService() and the activity is bound to it. The
overridden onStartCommand() method returns START_NOT_STICKY. So I
suppose that service will not be recreated if it's killed. But it
will.

I kill the application process by the command: adb shell kill <pid>.
After killing the process the log shows that new process of my
application is started again and the service is recreated.

So my question is: Why does Android restart this service (the killed
process)?
