I do agree with you on this, this is an area where things should be 
improved in necessitas. I do not have the knowledge of Android required, 
maybe you can provide some suggestions or code on the subject? It would 
benefit a lot, and from my point of view, my app too, so i am willing to 
help and test. Code also, but after somebody with a better knowledge can 
start.

I am thinking as a user.. i want my tracking app to never close unless 
i close it, before being the develoepr of my app i am it's user :)

but since this background closure is an issue with ALL thwe gps 
tracking application i have tried so far, both some Android native and 
my Qt ported one, i guess it's pretty much not understood by most of the 
developers out there.

Samsung Galaxy SII, stock Samsung ICS (+root). I have tweaked my 
lowmemorykillers to keep it running, and that's working. But with 
default values it doesn't.
