Nope. On Android, unless you keep a process in the foreground (with an ongoing notification), the system can kill it at any time. So that's perfectly reasonable on Android.


Right. And even then, if you open a resource intensive page in Chrome, it will often kill processes that have ongoing notifications.


Yes, I just tapped on my Skype notification, and Skype had died (restarted when I switched to it), but left the notification up.

This behavior makes me miss Skype calls from my mother.

Skype behavior is really the worst of all worlds.
