i'm tryning to get list of applications running in background Use this code :

ActivityManager actvityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService( ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
   List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> procInfos = actvityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
   background_applications.setText("Background Applications : "+procInfos.size());
 }

@JaredRummler when i use `List processes = AndroidProcesses.getRunningAppProcesses()` and `processes.size()` my app might froze for a while mIn the latter, nothing appears??? and `List processes = AndroidProcesses.getRunningAppProcessInfo(getApplicationContext())` still get 1 background process ( my app himself ) – Mouad Abdelghafour AitAli Apr 20 '17 at 00:11
