/**
    * Start a new process.
    * 
    * <p>If processes are enabled, a new process is created and the
    * static main() function of a <var>processClass</var> is executed there.
    * The process will continue running after this function returns.
    * 
    * <p>If processes are not enabled, a new thread in the caller's
    * process is created and main() of <var>processClass</var> called there.
    * 
    * <p>The niceName parameter, if not an empty string, is a custom name to
    * give to the process instead of using processClass.  This allows you to
    * make easily identifyable processes even if you are using the same base
    * <var>processClass</var> to start them.
    * 
    * @param processClass The class to use as the process's main entry
    *                     point.
    * @param niceName A more readable name to use for the process.
    * @param uid The user-id under which the process will run.
    * @param gid The group-id under which the process will run.
    * @param gids Additional group-ids associated with the process.
    * @param debugFlags Additional flags.
    * @param targetSdkVersion The target SDK version for the app.
    * @param seInfo null-ok SELinux information for the new process.
    * @param abi non-null the ABI this app should be started with.
    * @param instructionSet null-ok the instruction set to use.
    * @param appDataDir null-ok the data directory of the app.
    * @param zygoteArgs Additional arguments to supply to the zygote process.
    * 
    * @return An object that describes the result of the attempt to start the process.
    * @throws RuntimeException on fatal start failure
