Yes, but it's *much* less likely that a foregrounded service can be killed. Essentially, with a foreground service you sit at the back of the queue, not the front. Ultimately, there's nothing you can do to prevent your app being killed, and running everlasting services is an Android antipattern. (That is, of course, unless you've built your app into the firmware, in which case you can coerce the scheduler.)
