Service doesn't restart if killed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the service
2. Get the device overloaded (e.g. open a very large webpage with flash and all 
that)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We should continue to catch and relay notifications.
Instead, the service gets killed when the device runs low on memory, and never 
gets restarted.

Proposed solution:
Add a preference to run as foreground, or to restart if killed (by having the 
broadcast receivers in the manifest XML).

First (big) step done in r317.

Btw, can anyone test it?

Looks like the service won't die easily, but not re-starting upon reboot.

I've posted on  Issue 145  before noticing that it merged with this issue, 
sorry. My solution is to click the icon in my tray above (opening the app) 
before sleeping the phone.

Sorry to say project member, I'm still facing this problem with latest version.
