In this topic you will learn some information about Android process management. First let’s take a look at the launched processes during Android booting.

app_15 182 34 91848 9764 ffffffff afe0c824 S com.android.voicedialer
app_16 190 34 94524 10812 ffffffff afe0c824 S android.process.im

They can be divided into three kinds.

(1)Root Process
init is the first process after kernel booting. The major task it performs:

--Parser and execute init.rc and init.%hardware%.rc
--Automatically generate device node under /dev
--Start log and property service
--Monitor for device, property set and child process exit events

(2)Native Application Process
According to init.rc, init will fork the following native application process.

console: star a shell.
servicemanager : start binder IPC service manager.
mountd : mount all fs defined in /system/etc/mountd.conf if started, receive commands through local socket to mount any fs.
debuggerd : start debug system.
rild : start radio interface layer daemon.
zygote : start Android Java VM Runtime and start system server. It’s the most important process.
mediaserver : start AudioFlinger, MediaPlayerService and CameraService.
installd : start install package daemon.

(3)JAVA Application Process
Every JAVA application process is forked from zygote process. system_server is a special JAVA process, which is directly forked from zygote.. Other JAVA process is created from ActivityManagerService(run in system_server process) like this.

int pid = Process.start("android.app.ActivityThread",
mSimpleProcessManagement ? app.processName : null, uid, uid,
gids, ((app.info.flags&ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE) != 0), null);

-->System Server
It’s the first JAVA application launched by zygote. It starts the core Android services, e.g. ActivityManager, WindowManager, PackageManager etc. It’s the Android core engine.

-->Persistent Application
During booting, ActivityManagerService.systemReady will start all persistent applications.

List apps = ActivityThread.getPackageManager().getPersistentApplications(PackageManager.GET_SHARED_LIBRARY_FILES);

if (apps != null) {
int N = apps.size();
int i;
for (i=0; i<N; i++) {
ApplicationInfo info = (ApplicationInfo)apps.get(i);
if (info != null &&!info.packageName.equals("android")) {
addAppLocked(info);
}}}

Currently only Phone application is registered as a persistent appin AndroidManifest.xml like this.

<application android:name="PhoneApp" android:persistent="true" android:label="@string/dialerIconLabel" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_phone">

So during booting, only phone application is automatically launched. It’s the “com.android.phone” process.

-->The First Activity
The first activity is launched by senting Intent.CATEGORY_HOME intent from ActivityManagerService.

Intent intent = new Intent(mTopAction,mTopData != null ? Uri.parse(mTopData) : null);
intent.setComponent(mTopComponent);

if (mFactoryTest != SystemServer.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL) {
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME );}

ActivityInfo aInfo = intent.resolveActivityInfo(mContext.getPackageManager(),PackageManager.GET_SHARED_LIBRARY_FILES);

if (aInfo != null) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
aInfo.applicationInfo.packageName, aInfo.name));
// Don't do this if the home app is currently being instrumented.
ProcessRecord app = getProcessRecordLocked(aInfo.processName, aInfo.applicationInfo.uid);

if (app == null || app.instrumentationClass == null) {
intent.setFlags(intent.getFlags() | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivityLocked(null, intent, null, null, 0, aInfo, null, null, 0, 0, 0, false);
}}

It’s the “android.process.acore” process. (The process name is defined in AndroidManifest.xml)

-->Auto-launched Application After Booting
When activity idle is detected in ActivityManagerService, it will broadcast ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED intent at the first time.

if (mFactoryTest != SystemServer.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL) {
// Tell anyone interested that we are done booting!
synchronized (this) {
broadcastIntentLocked(null, null, new Intent(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED , null),
null, null, 0, null, null,android.Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED,
false, false, MY_PID, Process.SYSTEM_UID);}}

Currently, MMS, AlarmClock, Calendar, MediaProvider, VoiceDialer and IM have registered as a receiver for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED intent in their AndroidManifest.xml. So they will be automatically launched. (This explains the remained JAVA process.)

Email also registers as a receiver for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED intent in its AndroidManifest.xml, but it defines android:enable=”false”. So it won’t be launched.

<receiver android:name=".service.BootReceiver" android:enabled="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

DownloadProvider also registers as a receiver for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED intent in its AndroidManifest.xml, but it defines android:exported=”false”. So it won’t be launched.

<receiver android:name=".DownloadReceiver" android:exported="false" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
