Your app's application instance will persist as long as Android allows it to. Whenever the system needs more memory for the foreground or high priority tasks, it will kill your application, including any activity, service and application instances.

There is no set time for which this object will be around. You must write your application assuming that it can be destroyed at any point of time.

You can override onLowMemory() in the Application class to get a rough idea of whether or not you may be killed soon.
