There are heaps of tricks used by such apps, such as spamming the recent
app list with multiple instance of the app, so that you can't switch apps,
monitoring the ActivityManager log to re-start the app when it's closed,
and what not.
Now that 4.3 restricted profiles offer a clean way to do this, most of
this is not relevant and hopefully we will see and end to most
'ugly hacks'. Or maybe people will simply come up with new ones :)
