An Android process is started whenever it is required. Any time a user or some other system component requests a component (could be a service, an activity or an intent receiver) that belongs to your application be executed, the Android system spins off a new process for your app if it's not already running.
So although the call stack of an Android application start at ZygoteInit. main, the code executed in ZygoteInit.

There is a nice explanation in this presentation. It's written partially in Korean, but the most part of information in English.
