-/**
- * Android Background Services are normally built into Fennec, but can also be
- * built as a stand-alone APK for rapid local development. The current Telemetry
- * implementation is coupled to Gecko, and Background Services should not
- * interact with Gecko directly. To maintain this independence, Background
- * Services lazily introspects the relevant Telemetry class from the enclosing
- * package, warning but otherwise ignoring failures during introspection or
- * invocation.
- * <p>
- * It is possible that Background Services will introspect and invoke the
- * Telemetry implementation while Gecko is not running. In this case, the Fennec
- * process itself buffers Telemetry events until such time as they can be
- * flushed to disk and uploaded. <b>There is no guarantee that all Telemetry
- * events will be uploaded!</b> Depending on the volume of data and the
- * application lifecycle, Telemetry events may be dropped.
