android service in a separate thread?

I have a main activity class A and a service class S in the same package, I started S when I start A. My question is: Is the run-time memory of S counted as part of A? If I force stop A, do I stop S as well? Thanks

My expirience is that S does in fact stop in such a case. But if you start S as a seperate Activity, ie. let it extend Activity (or subclass of such), then I don't know.

But yes, maybe the answer is in here.

See here.

By default, all components of the application are executed in the same thread, but yo ucan change this behavior using android:process attribute in the manifest file.
