Android How find PID of GTALKService

I'm working on an app to block GtalkService. I want just use iptables for this, but I cant find GtalkSerivce. I tried:

  1. ps and top to list all processes but GtalkService wasn´t there
  2. Install an app from Google Play and then use logcat -v long *:V to see the log, but I also nothing find there

I just wanted to find PID of the running GTalkService.

Solution

  • GTalkService is run in the process with the name com.google.process.gapps. You can check this if you install Google Apps on a emulator.

    And I guess it will be difficult to kill it because the system restarts it. For instance, here the DDMS log. I've killed this process and the system has restarted it:
