How does getting the application reference from a service work in Android?

Question

Hello all,

I have a local Service running together with my application. I also have a class derrived from Application class.

When the local service is created it gets and uses the Application instance using getApplication.

Can the app itself be terminated while my service is still running and what happens if so? Would getApplication return null?

Regards Henrik
