Active tasks widget

I can't seem to find a widget that shows the running apps.
I know the system has the task manager app but what I really want is to see how many tasks are running in a widget without having to launch "Task Manager"
I also don't want an app to replace the system's Task Manager.
Just a "see how many are running" widget....Know of any?
Thanks!

Ah...duh!...There's one right there, in-built in the widgets options...

I'm using Go Taskmanager to show all running apps. I can also whiteliste some that aren't shown any more. So I have a better view about the new or unwanted ones.

or you can hold down the home button and it will bring you to task manager.

I highly recommend TasKiller, which comes with some useful widgets.

Simply converting it to system app doesn't make the app run in background.

But I think pushing to system/app will hide the app from task manager

No Bro
It is not possible to make an app run in background but only default system apps like Maps,Talk,Software upgrade etc etc.,
will be running in the background... some default apps like music,browser etc are shown in the taskmanager...
basically if you press the home button when running an app it show in the taskmanager
if not its not possible....
what i knew is the holo launcher is always shown in the taskmanager...
Press Thanks!! BRO please

What is this widget installed?

This widget has been installed on one of my friends S4. What is it? And how do I remove it?
Notice the annoying bar to the left of the first picture. See screenshots:

That bar you are talking about is for the MULTI-WINDOW feature.
If you don't want or don't like it you can simply disable it,
Here is how, go to the phone's Settings>Display>Multi Window
Uncheck the box for the Multi Window and it will be disabled.
Good luck, have a great day!

I'm not sure it's the Multi Window feature. It was disable. Here's a new screenshot, with it activated. I don't get it :/

Its probebly an app that you've installed.
Look through the apps that you've installed when that showed up.

Did you install any apps recently? recall the app you've installed recently and remove it?
Other way is to install and scan your phone with antivirus. Good luck

That is some kind of Push notification add-on that was installed by some application.
What I suggest is: Go to the Play Store and find an app called "Addons Detector".
Run it and let it scan the device. It will tell you what apps are using what add-ons.
Uninstall everything that uses Push Notification and Icon Ads.
Then if you want, you can uninstall Addons Detector or just keep using it every now and then (it's quite good and free!)

keep App Running

So on my S9+ I could pin an app in task manager so when I hit close all, it would stay running. I can't seem to find a way to do that on my s10+. I didn't need it before but I bought a Tile tracker, and unless the app is running, I can't use my tile to find my phone, and it also won't keep track of my tile. Anyone have any thoughts as to a way to keep the app running?

Use goodlock and task changer, click on icon at top of app you want to lock, bottom of menu, lock this app.
Just turned off task changer and you can do it with standard task just click on the icon at top of app and lock this app.
