There is nothing in the SDK for this. In 1.5 there is now some lauch information maintained by the system, which you can modify to have reported if you'd like, though it is pretty rudimentary (for each day, the number of times each .apk has been resumed, and the total duration it was resumed). You will need to build your own system to do anything like this though.
