If the running tasks or other objects more properly belong to a
fragment, have the fragment manage them and use setRetainInstance() to
keep those fragment instances between configuration changes.

Otherwise, I think the expectation is that you create a no-UI fragment
that manages those objects, which is part of your activity and on
which you use setRetainInstance().

When you say "create a no-UI fragment", do you mean that there needs to be a <fragment/> element in my layout with the name of a no-UI fragment? Can I create it in my FragmentActivity's onCreate()? If so, what do I add it to to keep it from getting garbage collected outside of the onCreate()?
