Can inactive Broadcast Receivers be reused?

Question

Let's say a BroadcastReceiver is declared in the manifest. It has run through onReceive() once and is the only component in the hosting process. What if another Intent is broadcast, is a new process spawn every time, or would the old one be reused if it hasn't been killed?

In other words: Is the onReceive()-method only run through ONCE for each receiver object?
