check to see if an application is a service or contentprovider

Question

I am writing an application to add all our apps to the homescreen of our devices. I need it to skip the apps that are services or contentproviders that just run in the background and are never "launched" by the user.

Any ideas? Right now i am specifying the apps, but would like to have it more automated.

Thanks!
