That means you have to have root perms *AND* do some job to trick OS to not
see your service/process. That's why most apps that of that kind simply
disguise itself into doing something else and reveal real face upon certain
actions or passwords. That's much easier to make itself listed as "Weather
monitor" than trying to go reallly stealth
