That activity manager API was never intended to be used to poll the state, it was there to provide debugging information.
I regret making it part of the SDK. There is really no good use of it for regular applications, and lots of bad uses. I do agree that having facilities to provide restricted environments for children are important. I think the goal in the platform will probably be to provide this as a feature in the platform, not an API for people to build on top of.
