title: Phonegap app on Android platform - keep app running
body: <p>I have a Phonegap app that functions as a communication service for a specific group of people. Using the local notification plugin found on the phonegap-plugins GitHub page, I have implemented notifications into the app, so that whenever someone receives a new message, a notification will appear if the app is in the background.</p>
  
  <p>After about an hour, though, no more notifications will occur, and it appears the process was killed. When I go back into the app, it starts completely over instead of resuming from where I last left off. I'm assuming that after a certain amount of time, Android stopped running the app in the background.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to keep the app running in the background until it is told by the user to stop, and prevent Android from killing the process? </p>
