[android-developers] Re: Receive notification for onDestroy, onStop, and onPause etc in other applications?
Please don't write an app that depends on parsing stuff out of the logs. This is not a defined part of the SDK, and your app will surely break in the future.

oh thanks Dianne, Does that mean there's no defined ways so far to determine whether an app is killed or not?

[android-developers] Re: Receive notification for onDestroy, onStop, and onPause etc in other applications?
Maybe your best best is to have a root around the Activity source code http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/app/Activity.java;h=eafb0488490fd144fa6fac15cbd303dfd93eb894;hb=HEAD Having said that the base activity doesn't seem to be signalling these methods in any way so I think your plain out of luck.

[android-developers] Re: Receive notification for onDestroy, onStop, and onPause etc in other applications?
Thanks Alistair and Dianne, Now I understand that a notification is not possible, But how does an app with READ_LOGS permission access system log? I couldn't find any documentation about this either. I'm guessing if one could read the log, the app could pretty much know when an app is killed because the ActivityManager write a line into the log when this happens.

Just to clarify: by this I meant to receive notification when onDestroy, onStop etc in other applications are called, i.e. somehow monitor the life cycle of apps running on the phone.
