It seems like it's also not restarted when being killed due to a low memory condition. This is a serious issue!

Same as 63618 issue reported before.

Ruins battery notifications

Had to stop using this. Too bad, loved it.

Why is this rated a "Priority-Small" ? This makes all applications that use a background service useless

Same for apps showing widgets! Even those apps Google rated best apps from best developers, are affected by this!

Can only be a mistake. Or its like killing all Play Store apps, except games. Could it be intentional? I can't believe it yet.

Yes, the service stops in any moment. I think it's a big problem. In lower versions no problem with the background service.

Same issues here. This is indeed a serious problem.

I'm having similar issues. Real problems also with the notificationlistener service just stopping sending notifications to apps without a reboot.

Must be fixed!

This is a significant problem. START_STICKY services are being killed by the Android system (presumably because resources are low?) and are never restarted. This behavior has been observed on multiple Nexus 5 devices running Android 4.4.2.

Also, START_STICKY services attached to activities that are cleared out of the Recent Apps list are also being killed and never restarted (see issue 36949180). This behavior has been observed on multiple Nexus 5 devices running Android 4.4, 4.4.1, and 4.4.2.

I have same problem with app widgets, my app widget has a back-end service which on 4.4.2 stops and never restarts.
