Description

Swiping app away from the recent apps list will kill any background or empty processes of the application but it won't stop the running services or remove the notifications from the status bar. See the discussion here: http://www.howtogeek.com/169549/what-exactly-happens-when-you-swipe-an-android-app-from-the-recent-apps-list/ http://lifehacker.com/what-happens-when-you-remove-an-app-from-androids-mult-1179868228 In order to get notified when the app is swiped away, we need to implement a new event which is fired from [Service.onTaskRemoved()](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#onTaskRemoved(android.content.Intent)).

PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/4687 For FR: 1. Run the test case below on 4.0+ devices and should see the log "Hello World! I am a Service. I have this to say: Titanium rocks!". 2. Click the HOME button and then swipe the app away from the recent app list. Should see the log "**************************** taskremoved fired". Test case: ----------------------- app.js -----------------------

   var intent = Titanium.Android.createServiceIntent( { url: 'service.js' } );
   intent.putExtra('message_to_echo', 'Titanium rocks!');
   Ti.Android.startService(intent);

----------------------- service.js -----------------------

   var service = Titanium.Android.currentService;
   var intent = service.intent;
   var message = intent.getStringExtra("message_to_echo");
   
   service.addEventListener("taskremoved", function(){
   	Ti.API.info("**************************** taskremoved fired");
   });
   
   Titanium.API.info("Hello World!  I am a Service.  I have this to say: " + message);
