Why are you advising the use of a deprecated API that is now a NOP???

I have no empirical evidence for it, but i did notice that non-

It could be more memory. Oh and also there is now a limit on the maximum
number of background processes we keep -- it turned out especially once all
of the memory on the nexus one was available, for devices with large amounts
of RAM we could keep around a fairly ridiculous number of processes. :)
Services have for a number of releases been pushed into the background class
after running for a while, to eventually get killed and restarted. On
devices like the Nexus One this could happen a bit more frequently.
However, for the last few releases it has been designed to basically
guarantee that a background service will always get killed every now and
then.
If you are running a service that the user is aware of, you should use
Service.startForeground(). One of the things this does is tell the system
the user would not be happy if the service's process gets temporarily
killed. (Note that as of 2.0 Service.setForeground() is deprecated and has
become a no-op.)
