What are you intending to do with this? Free memory is a very nebulous concept. There is a 99% chance that anyone seeing a number associated with free memory will greatly misinterpret what that means.
(Note that for Running Services the amount of "free" memory takes information from /proc/meminfo but actually includes other memory making the number given to the user fairly meaningful specifically for what they are looking at in that UI.)
