Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] postMessage keeps service workers alive indefinitely (#980)

Suggested implementation is pretty useless. What can we do in 5 seconds before it dies? Surely if web apps need to run 'like native apps' with all this service worker technology we need the service worker to stay active/alive not keep stopping due to its limited lifespan. We are having to move all our web app code to a android native wrapper and use a webview because the service worker stops running code. Users open up other apps and when the app loses focus, poor old service worker stops. At this rate we may as well just do away with the web app service worker thing altogether. very frustrating. We need code to run in background when the app loses focus otherwise its pointless. there, ive said it.
