From some threads here I get the idea that in some versions of Sailfish, Android services could run in the background without any android app actually being open. E.g. https://together.jolla.com/question/61368/android-service-autostoptimer/ , https://together.jolla.com/question/21496/android-background-processes-always-running/

However, I don't see any android activity in the background at all. No processes open, no notifications, no nothing without me starting the actual corresponding android app. Examples include K9 and the aptoide store.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to allow android services in the background, but I'm just somewhat confused by the evidence. Therefore my question: Can Android services run in the background in Vaarainjärvi? If not, was that possible in some earlier version of Sailfish?

EDIT: Removed references to Vaarainjärvi, since this question still holds in some earlier version of Sailfish?Yliaavanlampi and probably in many more releases to come.
