You could retrieve the ActivityInfo for the current activity from the package manager, and that will have the process it is running in. But this really seems like a hack. Why not have a single Application object, that allows others to register to receive the callbacks they are interested in?
(And honestly, you don't need the Application object. Stuff you do in onCreate() you can do the first time someone accesses whatever global object they want... which can actually be better, to avoid initializing things that you don't need. And there is also a broadcast that gets sent when onLowMemory is called, so you can just register for that.)
