The clock application closes just like any other application when you
swipe it away.  The reason your alarms still function is because the
application is essentially just acting as a front-end to configure the
alarms: they are actually managed by a shell component
(indicator-datetime, IIRC).

It'd be nice to have some kind of general purpose background
processing mode for applications, but it isn't available at this time.
