[android-developers] Hide an app from the user

Hi,

I'm trying to develop an application that should not be visible to
the user. I mean an app that can't be visible at the Manage Apps
screen (Settings – Applications – Manage applications) and also whose
services couldn't either be visible at the Running Services screen
(Settings – Applications – Running services)

I know I'm trying to fight against Android's nature of being open and
give control to the user. But I want, somehow, to cheat the system and
pretend the app does not run and even does not exist. Is that
possible?

PS: don't worry, I'm not either a virus developer or a bad person :)

Thanks in advance!
