(Retitled the thread to narrow this issue.)

Would an app typically be paused by the device platform as it anticipates it's 
about to die for lack of battery?

Also, please confirm pause/resume necessarily applies only when execution of an 
application is actually suspended, not when it's somehow running in the 
background in some minified way as was the case on meego.  Do any of these 
platforms support that kind of multitasking?  If so, it would affect how you 
might use the notification API.

Sorry for all the naive questions, and thanks,

--Mike S

...
* The doc for the "pause" and "retrieve" events say "native code"
  takes the app in and out of the background.  Yes, but does that mean
  it can be controlled by anything other than direct user manipulation?
  E.g., an app can't pause itself, correct?


No, the app can't pause itself. The system throws events that we capture, and 
translate to pause/resume.
