Your service runs in a non-interactive desktop in session 0, and so does not have access to information about interactive desktops.

You would need to run a process in an interactive desktop to get that information. And I suppose you could then pass it to your service using an IPC mechanism. Quite what you would do with the information even if you could get at it session 0 I'm not sure. Sessions are isolated.
