Android Question Indication about app launching

[ddahan]

Hi,
I need to continuously build statistics about installed app's usage (using a service).
Is there any way to get indication about app being launched by the user (knowing what app is launched) ?

thanks,
David.

The OS library provides information about the running processes.

Erel, Thanks.
Timer based monitoring is a good way for that?

Yes. Also see this tutorial: Creating a sticky service - long running background tasks
