All this document says is that when Android goes to sleep, it calls onPause(). But that does not tell what ELSE Android does when it "goes to sleep".
For that matter, the same doc says that onPause() is also called when another app takes the foreground, so the application developer cannot even rely on a call to onPause() as a sure indicator that Android is going to sleep. Now I realize that the details of what it does when it goes to sleep and wakes up might be subject to change w/o notice, but even so, it is easy to see that the developer often needs to know more than just what that one doc says about sleep and onPause(). A developer also needs to know, for example, that Alarms are still checked while the phone is asleep, and can wake up the phone.
