Currently I believe I'm doing a ok job managing my application's remote
service. When I'm done using it I can see the onDestroy() called, perfect...
Now the issue is I can see the remote process still hanging around, via DDMS
or via phone's running processes. Users see this and think I'm doing
That is working as intended. The process is kept around with nothing

I want to say thank you to Dianne Hackborn for correcting my mistaken
