Is the typical AndroidService a foreground or background service?

[Carlos Choy]

Is a service started like this:

import android
serv = android.AndroidService('my pong service','running')
serv.start('service started')

a foreground or background service?  (assuming it is in the /service/main.py and there is an activity for the app in /main.py).

I just want to clarify -

the code I posted would be in /service/main.py.
