对于Midlet状态，有一个叫application management software的会专门负责管理。你所有要关心的，就是怎样和这个AM打交道。

pauseApp()
destroyApp()
startApp()

重写这三个方法。AM将会在相应的时间调用。

而
notifyDestroyed()
notifyPaused()
resumeRequest()
则是让你有机会去通知AM需要做什么。

下面是一个简单的例子，可以根据自己扩充测试一下。有一点比较奇怪的就是，理论上说，在Midlet处于Active状态的时候，如果有电话进入，AM会调用pauseApp()。但是实际测试时，没有发现AM调用这个方法。
