As I recall, we covered this topic in gory detail already (assuming
processes === services), but I don't have my phone with me at the moment so
I can't check the phone itself - but Google has what the OP needs, I think.

Suffice to say you have full view, AFAIK, to all running processes, and, in
fact, you can set the number of background running services to anything.

 "Running services: This opens a screen showing you all the applications
  and system processes running on your device, and how much memory each
  one is using."

Note that I'm making a basic assumption that processes === services,
although that may not be accurate (someone will correct me if I err).
