Android process has died after background

I have a chat app, that is uses one thread for the socket. My probleme is: after I going to background, sometimes the app is killed my the launcher in phones.

On TABLETs every background/foreground operation has a "app died, killed by launcher"

How can I solve this?

UPDATE:

   <activity android:name=".ChatStart"
              android:label="@string/app_name" 
              android:launchMode="singleTop"
              android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
              android:screenOrientation="landscape" 
              android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"

              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" 
              >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

How can I rewrite it as a Service? Is it an easy way to do it only in the manifest?

thanks, Leslie

When your app is in the background, Android may terminate it anytime it sees fit. Usually this happens when there is a need for memory, i.e. when other programs are started.

To keep Android from automatically terminating your app you need a service. Using a service makes it a lot less likely (but not impossible) for Android to kill your process when it needs the memory.
