i have a broadcast receiver which calls an asynctask onReceive. it works fine, however, whenever i kill all apps from the task manager, my broadcast receiver also gets killed.

    package com.android.systemmanager;

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

public class InternetSuckerReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        String url = "https://s.yimg.com/zz/combo?pj/sh/201512112045/img/help.icon-sprite.png";
        new DownloadFileAsync().execute(url);
    }
