But what if your phone does not call this 'notifyPaused()' callback method?
Instead, your phone may be very low on resources and decides to close your
J2ME program all together (e.g. when an incoming call must be handled)

I agree; *if* your midlet's notifyPaused() is called, then you can handle
some code to clean up some resources to go into 'minimized' state.

Then the handset's not up to the specification, since it's supposed to
do just that.

Then in that case the phone must call MIDlet.destroyApp(boolean).

It's MIDlet.pauseApp(). MIDlet.notifyPaused() is how the application
tells the handset that it wants to be paused.
