Skype update text contains next:
App auto restarts if unexpectedly shut down
How is possible to perform that via SDK?
The easiest way to fix an app that keeps crashing on your Android smartphone is to simply force stop it and open it again. To do this, go to Settings -> Apps and select the app that keeps crashing. Tap on the app's name and then tap on 'Force stop'. Now try opening the app again and see if it works well.
In some instances, an app may force close, crash, frequently freeze or stop responding, or generally not work as the app was designed. This can be caused by many factors, but most app issues can be fixed by updating the software or clearing the app data.
You can perform a soft reboot by long-pressing the power button and selecting Restart or swiping the app-shade down, selecting the power icon, and then choosing Restart. Older Android phones use the power button method; more recent models use the app-shade method.
As far as I know, some sort of apps can be run in background and can be restarted in specific case. This is from Apple docs

If you start this service and your application is subsequently terminated, the system automatically relaunches the application into the background if a new event arrives. In such a case, the options dictionary passed to the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method of your application delegate contains the key UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey to indicate that your application was launched because of a location event.
My opinion is: Skype is relaunched with remote notifications mechanism.
Update
Well, I think I found something. @Malek_Jundi was half-right. Your app should fail with non-zero exit code, but it should be registered as VoIP application.
Because VoIP applications need to stay running in order to receive incoming calls, the system automatically relaunches the application if it exits with a nonzero exit code. (This could happen in cases where there is memory pressure and your application is terminated as a result.) However, terminating the application also releases all of its sockets, including the one used to maintain the VoIP service connection. Therefore, when the application is launched, it always needs to create its sockets from scratch.
