Yes. Threads are alive as long as they run and are not at all associated with an Activity's (or any other object's) life-cycle.
This is also one of the main reason why it is dangerous to create sub-classes of Thread that are (anonymous) non-static inner classes, where the outer class is an Activity (or any other object whose life-cycle is externally maintained), since instances of these Threads hold implicit references to the outer Activity instance --> Activity leak.
