When you try to stop a service in the 2.0's new "running services"
screen, Android displays a message that includes the name of the
application that owns the service. At this point, the user can confirm
or back out.

And while we are dreaming, I want a display of an annotated dependency
tree of services and applications, so that I the user can tell which
service is needed/used by which application. And I want the
annotations to take me to the application's website for a fuller
explanation of how and why it uses the service;)
And I want the annotations to explain why Market and My Uploads keep
getting started when I didn't ask for them!

I agree that it'd be nice for a user to be able to "bless" a service,
such that it wouldn't need startForeground(), or perhaps so its icon
just wouldn't show up even if startForeground() is called. However, I
can't fault the current implementation's objectives.
I think a good addition to the next Android version could be a "gallery-
style" (horizontally scrollable) list of running services in the
notification area.
This way, no matter how many services you have running, they take exactly
1 row in the notification window, leaving space for "real" notifications.
The problem with "blessing" (and a disappearing icon) is that in a couple
of weeks I will forget I blessed that service, and in 1 year time, I
could
end up having dozens of services in bg... :)
