"Restarted"? A running service will start running again, but to me "restart" implies it was destroyed and recreated, which does not happen. When the CPU shuts down, everything freezes in mid-operation. When the CPU starts up again, everything continues from where it was. Again, I strongly advise against having services run indefinitely. A well-constructed service only runs when it needs to (via an alarm) and can arrange via a WakeLock to keep the CPU running for the short period it needs to run.
