No, AsyncTask has nothing to do with when your process is killed. In both ways -- it can not allow it to be killed, nor can it *prevent* it from being killed (having a Service, Activity, etc running is what lets the system know how important the process is to be kept around, and thus whether it will decide to kill it).
