I disagree here. We have spent a significant amount of time on our lifecycle story and on establishing, implementing and supporting a strict lifecycle policy on the phone. With that, I'm surprised by such a statement. I would have expected that our designs by now are aligned with such a fundamental platform decision. At any rate: No matter if an application or a (trusted) helper is accessing system services, I would think that we should put designs that visually surface any sort of background operation to users.
