Trouble with that is, it doesn't show the *running* services but the
*started* services.
Esp. services written for 1.x might just linger around to do some work
when required, and not be "foreground" services, so they can be kicked
anytime without trouble. Sure, stopService would've been the better
solution in most cases, but these services won't bother, but
developers get queries why their service is "running" all the time.
While other services or broadcast receivers might regulary calculate
10-digit prime numbers without being shown...

Any plans so far?
