How to find what service running on background on Android?

How to find what service running on background on Android? like input method service, .... Using adb or terminal on android device ? Could I use "top" or "ps" command?

Maybe I have to ask in another way? Does the service be presented as one "process", then we can use "ps" or "top" command to find it?

A more precise way to show running services is by using dumpsys.

To get a list of all running services:

adb shell dumpsys activity services

To show the status of a particular service:

adb shell dumpsys activity services <partial-service-name>

For example, if your service name is com.example.MyService:

adb shell dumpsys activity services MyService

If you are running the emulator or have a connected device, you can launch adb with 'adb shell' from the command line and you can run all those linux binaries like top and ps.
