If you want to have work happening while in the background without the
system thinking you are just a background app and available to be killed,
you need to start a Service and have the work associated with that.

The main UI thread isn't destroyed.  Well, it is destroyed when the process
is killed, and at that point it doesn't matter because the entire process is
gone.
