IntentService runs outside application process ?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing beautiful knowledge of Android on your blog.

I have a query under Section "Services"-->"Starting Background Service" :
https://guides.codepath.com/android/Starting-Background-Services

Here, its mentioned that "IntentService runs outside the application in a background process,.....",
whereas according to the Android documentation, IntentService runs in a background thread outside main UI thread that is in the same application process.

We can see in the source code of IntentService.java, inside onCreate() callback, HandlerThread is being initiated and started a new thread.

Kindly, correct me if i am wrong.

Thank You.
