Android Question [B4XPages] Starter service and start at boot

As I understand in b4xpages the starter service is not really used / needed anymore.
And if you want to 'start at boot' you add another service and do it there.

So what I am seeing is that when the phone starts, my 'start at boot' service runs and that include the starter service too.

So...
As my 'start at boot' service checks a flag and decides to NOT start my app the Starter service is left in memory.

Is this correct? Will the Starter service be left in memory even though my app did not auto start?

This is true for non-B4XPages projects as well.

Don't worry about it. It is the OS job to kill the process when it is in the background.
