I very much agree with that. Apps that have no indications, shouldn't be 
displayed in the message menu at all. On the other hand, being able to 
control your music player using the media indicator is very nice. I also 
think that you shouldn't have to consider whether an app is running or 
not. If you ask for it, then it should be displayed. So this is slightly 
contradicting. I don't really know what the best solution is.

I think caution is vital now. Soon, apps will have lenses, static and 
dynamic quicklists and indicator menus. This has great potential to 
become a real mess.
