Actually Push notifications will not work if he Force Closes the app, since they stop functioning at that point... Will probably work if killed by a Task Killer.
I personally think that if a user is stupid enough to use task killers and kill your app, it shouldn't be running on his phone... but if you wanna cater to these users, the trick is to use the AlarmManager to check if your app is running. If you want that to work on android 2.x (and probably till eternity if you're really diabolical) you can set up another app that is responsible for waking up the first up if it is closed.
