[android-developers] Keeping a service running..

I've got a service that I'd like to be active in the background.

But when I delete the associated app from the Android recently used
list - it kills the service also. I assume because it's running in the
same process. Though I do not get the service.onDestroy() call.

Any way to prevent this.

In the main activity onCreate()

I call startService(). I want it to start the service if it's not already
started. Then I bind to it.

In the service, I return onStartCommand() with START_STICKY


So shouldn't the service not be killed with the above setup.
