documentation flaw? was android changed to no longer do that? i remember a presentation done by google mentioning this exact process as part of android's normal work... but that was years ago... can you point us to documentation stating otherwise?
regarding onStop and onDestroy, under some conditions they are not called, but yeah.. what they wrote is just wrong.
