Yeah, I used Service.startForeground() just in case the service was being killed because it was in the background (and since this is an AppWidget I guess my "App" isn't in the foreground, rather the Launcher's "App" is in the foreground).
Am trying out ditching Zehon FTP for Java and using the native URLConnection. unfortunately Android's implementation of FtpURLConnection is hard-coded to guessContentTypeFromName(url) so it doesn't want to download a text file that has an extension of, say, .wtf...one of the reasons I wasn't using native URLConnection in the first place. I'm still interested to know/solve why my service gets killed when using Zehon FTP for Java, but in the interest of meeting overall goals of the AppWidget I'm now rejigging regexes to handle the FTP download of an html file.
