You can't start a Android/Dalvik process through a process name.  Nor should you rely on these names, which are implementation details.

The media server is not a normal app and has a special user
'media' (uid 1013). The executable is probably located at /system/bin/
mediaserver. Just run ps and see for yourself.

Hi Dianne,

Thanks for reply,
I have written memory leak tool on top of DDMS.
Tools needs process name as one parameter
and that why am checking here. Noticed there
were memory leaks in multimedia side so exploring.

Thanks again..
