Wondering if there is any Android application to control (turn on/off, or throttle) the usage of data-network, call, sms send/receive functionality of other applications, based on rules, s.a. time-of-day, day-of-week, events etc.

What I would like to do is turn some of the otherwise nice, but very network I/O intensive applications to stop/throttle down, for example, stop twitter-client, mail-client etc. from sync'ing during night (as I pay for very expensive data connection), increase the bandwidth available to some of the apps during peak-productivity hours, and throttle-down bandwidth during leaner periods. This is just one of the example use-cases, but I can think of many more, if a generic mechanism is available.

The phone on which I need this, is running Android 2.3.6.
