When running an App you can start multiple processes,
Activity is defined in the manifest when there can be progress = ": dash" in this way perform this Actvitiy specified in a separate process.

There are many independent role in the process, such as a separate process if the crash does not affect other processes, the memory limit is also calculated separately, and so on
