/**
 * If the default SMS app has a service that extends this class, the system always tries to bind
 * it so that the process is always running, which allows the app to have a persistent connection
 * to the server.
 *
 * <p>The service must have {@link android.telephony.TelephonyManager#ACTION_SMS_APP_SERVICE}
 * action in the intent handler, and be protected with
 * {@link android.Manifest.permission#BIND_SMS_APP_SERVICE}. However the service does not have to
 * be exported.
 *
 * <p>Apps can use
 * {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName, int, int)}
 * to disable/enable the service. Apps should use it to disable the service when it no longer needs
 * to be running.
 *
 * <p>When the owner process crashes, the service will be re-bound automatically after a
 * back-off.
 *
 * <p>Note the process may still be killed if the system is under heavy memory pressure, in which
 * case the process will be re-started later.
