Don't you care just as much about Activities that have threads running the background? Two more questions about all this: Are you saying that this UI allows the user to see AND force-kill processes and all their alarms and notifications (sorry I haven't looked at this 2.0 feature)? A little doubt about all this - Why worry about Services that run in the background? Yes it uses memory but the system can kill processes if it needs to obtain more memory (and Services should be coded to handle that when it happens). If an App has alarms that cause it to restart then that is the business of the App and should be allowed. If an App is badly written and does that too much the user can make a decision that they don't want the App. It seems like all this follows from the platform without any task killing facility being necessary.
