The app lifecycle  management makes it unlikely that there will ever be
more than one app or scope downloading data in the last 5 secs, and it
will be the one currently active.

I actually question whether this is really useful with our app
lifecycle, as opposed to the Android model which allows numerous
background services.

Title:
  Network activity indicator not implemented

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently there is no way to tell when the phone is using data. This
  is important when deciding whether to put it into Flight Mode, when
  leaving Wi-Fi coverage, or when adjusting settings. It also makes apps
  seem less responsive when they were developed by someone who has a
  much faster Internet connection than you do.

  These issues can be resolved by implementing the network activity
  indicator. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#activity-indicator>

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#activity-indicator>: "Therefore on
  the phone and tablet only, the “Network activity” indicator, a
  spinner, should be present whenever any process has used the network
  in the past five seconds. Its menu should list all applications that
  have used the network in the past five seconds, most recent first but
  updating only once every five seconds."

  (This bug report is under indicator-network initially because it
  covers a similar area. I have no opinion on whether the code should be
  part of the same package.)
