Do applications get access to that data? Because I can see some use for that,
especially for network clients. There's no point in updating the display of my
tweet feed if it's hidden, and there's not much use polling every 10 seconds if
I can do that every minute instead (or have a helper do it for me so the rest of
the app can be killed/hidden and still receive notifications).
