                    `RunningServiceInfo.clientCount`? Is it what you are looking for? – pskink Dec 20 '14 at 09:36

                    you can get number of clients, not number of threads – pskink Dec 20 '14 at 09:53

                    @pskink Yeah, but I need count of thread inside this service – StartCoding Dec 20 '14 at 09:54

                    There's no such data in `RunningServiceInfo`, what do you need it for? – pskink Dec 20 '14 at 10:03

                    @pskink Any other way to do so?? please suggest, there must be some way to do so. We can see this feature inside taskmanager app>Running Service> list of service(1 process 1 service) – StartCoding Dec 20 '14 at 10:09

                    so you have #processes and #services, not **#threads** – pskink Dec 20 '14 at 10:12

                    @pskink yes, this thread is shown as #process – StartCoding Dec 20 '14 at 10:14

                    no: process != thread, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_%28computing%29#Threads_vs._processes or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/200469/what-is-the-difference-between-a-process-and-a-thread or http://www.programmerinterview.com/index.php/operating-systems/thread-vs-process/ – pskink Dec 20 '14 at 10:15

                    @pskink yeah, I know. I just want to set analogy. – StartCoding Dec 20 '14 at 10:17
