If you have background process or services running in the background , then if user revokes permission from settings , the process gets restarted. This shouldn't affect your activity unless your activity context is tied to your service.The speaker in Google IO 2015-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f17qe9vZ8RM does tell about process restart ,etc....

Is this written in the documentation anywhere? i can't seem to find anything that explicitly says this should happen – Joe Maher Apr 17 '16 at 02:55
Same, I can't find anything on this besides what was said by the speaker at Google IO 2015. – Mo Beigi May 13 '16 at 12:19
11:03 of the video, the speaker talk about this. – iwpz Aug 25 '20 at 09:08
