title: START_STICKY does not work on Android KitKat
body: <p>One of my apps has a backgrouod service that uses the <code>START_STICKY</code> return code from <code>onStartCommand</code> to automatically restart when the system kills it.
  It seems that this is no longer working on Android KitKat.
  Is there any solution for this ?
  Should I be doing something different on Kitkat to keep the service running ?</p>
  
  <p>Note: There is a similar discussion on the Android-Devlopers group about swiping the app from the recent apps list behaves. Could this two issues be related ?

  <p>Edit: Saw that there are open bugs on Android issue tracker:</p>

  <p>Edit2: The same happens even if service is running using <code>startForeground</code>, in a separate process and with the flag <code>android:stopWithTask="false"</code> in the AndroidManifest.xml file...</p>

  <p>Is there some sort of workaround to get the previous behavior ?</p>
