+## Out-of-Process Crash Handling
+
+By default, the NDK integration handles a native crash inside the crashing process, and the SDK sends it the next time the app starts. With out-of-process crash handling, a crash service in a separate process captures the crash and sends it right away. This way, you see native crashes even from users who don't open the app again.
+
+<Alert title="Experimental">
+
+Out-of-process crash handling is experimental. It requires Android 11 (API level 30) or later. On older Android versions, the SDK doesn't report native crashes in this mode.
+
+</Alert>
+
+To enable it, add `sentry-android-ndk-outproc` and exclude `sentry-native-ndk`, which the `sentry-android` bundle includes:
+
+```groovy {filename:app/build.gradle}
+dependencies {
+    implementation "io.sentry:sentry-android-ndk-outproc:{{@inject packages.version('sentry.java.android', '8.64.0') }}"
+}
+
+configurations.configureEach {
+    exclude group: "io.sentry", module: "sentry-native-ndk"
+}
+```
+
+```kotlin {filename:app/build.gradle.kts}
+dependencies {
+    implementation("io.sentry:sentry-android-ndk-outproc:{{@inject packages.version('sentry.java.android', '8.64.0') }}")
+}
+
+configurations.configureEach {
+    exclude(group = "io.sentry", module = "sentry-native-ndk")
+}
+```
+
+You don't need to exclude `sentry-native-ndk` if you use `sentry-android-core` instead of the `sentry-android` bundle. If the build contains both native packages, Gradle fails with a conflict on the capability `io.sentry:sentry-ndk-backend`.
+
+If you [link against the NDK libraries](#allowing-the-compiler-to-link-libraries), keep your `CMakeLists.txt`, but depend on `io.sentry:sentry-native-ndk-outproc` instead of `io.sentry:sentry-native-ndk`.
+
+Keep in mind:
+
+- The crash service runs in a separate process, `<applicationId>.sentry_ndk_crash`, while your app runs, and uses additional memory.
+- Android creates a second instance of your `Application` in that process. See [Second Application Instance](#second-application-instance).
+- With the [Tombstone Integration](/platforms/android/configuration/tombstones/) enabled on Android 12 (API level 31) or later, the crash service merges the tombstone into the native crash event before it sends it.
+- If the crash service can't finish sending the crash, the SDK sends it on a later app start. This can happen without a network connection, or on Android 14 (API level 34) and later, where Android freezes the service 10 seconds after the app exits.
+
+### Second Application Instance
+
+Android creates a second instance of your `Application` class in the crash service process. The SDK skips its own initialization there, so only one SDK runs and sessions aren't tracked twice.
+
+<Alert level="warning">
+
+Code in `Application.onCreate` also runs in the crash service process, which can initialize libraries twice, repeat background work, or cause conflicts over shared files.
+
+</Alert>
+
+To run startup code only in the main process, return early from `Application.onCreate` in other processes:
+
+```kotlin {filename:MyApplication.kt}
+class MyApplication : Application() {
+    override fun onCreate() {
+        super.onCreate()
+        if (!isMainProcess()) return
+
+        // your startup work
+    }
+
+    private fun isMainProcess() =
+        Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.P ||
+            Application.getProcessName() == applicationInfo.processName
+            // or, to skip only the crash service process:
+            // !Application.getProcessName().endsWith(".sentry_ndk_crash")
+}
+```
+
+```java {filename:MyApplication.java}
+public class MyApplication extends Application {
+    @Override
+    public void onCreate() {
+        super.onCreate();
+        if (!isMainProcess()) {
+            return;
+        }
+
+        // your startup work
+    }
+
+    private boolean isMainProcess() {
+        return Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.P
+            || Application.getProcessName().equals(getApplicationInfo().processName);
+            // or, to skip only the crash service process:
+            // || !Application.getProcessName().endsWith(".sentry_ndk_crash");
+    }
+}
+```

 ## Disable NDK Integration
 
 You can disable the NDK integration by adding the following to your `AndroidManifest.xml`:
