iOS cpu usage for each process using sysctl()?

Question

Is there a way to get cpu usage for each process using sysctl() ?

I\'m trying to find a way to detect the launch of a specific application. It seems th

Go through the following process 1. Import Following Files

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

2. Add ivars

processor_info_array_t cpuInfo, prevCpuInfo;
mach_msg_type_number_t numCpuInfo, numPrevCpuInfo;
unsigned numCPUs;
NSTimer *updateTimer;
NSLock *CPUUsageLock;

3.IN .m file

-(void)voidDidLoad

size_t sizeOfNumCPUs = sizeof(numCPUs);
int status = sysctl(mib, 2U, &numCPUs, &sizeOfNumCPUs, NULL, 0U);
if(status)
    numCPUs = 1;
