'Clock' app does not show up in Running Applications

Question

My Nexus S comes with a default clock application where I can set an alarm. When I set an alarm then I see a little clock in my status bar.

If I go to 'Manage Applications' or 'Running Services', I would expect to see Clock there, but I don't?

If I go to 'All' from 'Manage Applications', then I do see the Clock app, and I can Force Quit it, however the clock in the status bar still appears.

Why doesn't the default Clock application ever appear in Running Applications or Services?

Probably because it's part of the system and is never supposed to stop running? — Matthew Read, Dec 13, 2011 at 17:36
If it's part of the system, can developers access this Clock app? For instance I am creating an alarm application, should it be possible to hookup the alarms from my application to the system Clock app? — lost_bits1110, Dec 13, 2011 at 17:46
That I don't know. Any dev questions should be asked on Stack Overflow. — Matthew Read, Dec 13, 2011 at 17:52
I don't see it either (also a Nexus S). However, while I had the "Running" tab open, I hit the menu button and chose "Show Cached Processes"; that caused the Clock app to appear in the list. I don't honestly know what that means, though. — offby1, Dec 14, 2011 at 2:54

I use Go Launcher Pro. There in the running tab it shows Clock. May be he stock launcher application hides running system processes from showing.
