Good point. Thanks for adding additional value. You're correct.

I just compared this output to that of bg processes & yes, it's different.
 C:\> adb shell top
 C:\> adb shell ps -A
 C:\> adb shell ps -e 
 C:\> adb shell dumpsys activity services
 C:\> adb shell dumpsys meminfo

For the most comprehensive list of all processes, 'adb shell ps -A' seems
top be the best bet. If we want to understand what services those processes
are running, 'adb shell dumpsys activity services' helps a lot. And for
memory consumption, 'adb shell dumpsys meminfo' seems to be a key command.
