Hello Hackborn,

>>You just need to handle this case correctly, as it will happen even without a 
>>task killer

I used intent in starting service and checking that extra in
myService:StartupHandler() to identify if service recovered from
crash(if intent is null).

If that is the case i do gracefull shutdown of my service by calling
stopSelf(),(which calls myService::onDestroy()).

Thanks
JRC
