I would like to be able to start an activity or service and get the PID of that process as quickly as possible, immediately would be the best case scenario. Do I have any options other than browsing the /proc directory, which then leads to a variable-amount-of-time race condition between the time the activity/service is launched and the time it takes me to find what I want in the proc directory and begin observing?

In the Start menu search bar, search for command prompt and select Run as administrator. Type tasklist. Press Enter. Command Prompt will now display the PID for the running processes.

pid = process ID. uid = user ID of the application that owns that process. gid = group IDs of the application that owns that process.
I think you'd need to use ActivityManager: see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo.html for the process info. You could:
