On an Android device, where many app’s are running, I would like to enable an interface where the user can see which app’s installed and which ones are running at the moment, being possible to start, pause and uninstall an app.

As is response in SO-en the method should be called so (ACTION_UNINSTALL_PACKAGE is only available in API level 14):
Uri packageUri = Uri.parse("package:org.PACOTE");
Intent uninstallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, packageUri);
startActivity(uninstallIntent);
(Up to the Level 20 API) To list applications that are running (or have been running recently), as is so-en response the code should be something like:
final ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
final List<RunningTaskInfo> recentTasks = activityManager.getRunningTasks(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
for (int i = 0; i < recentTasks.size(); i++) {
Log.d("Aplicativo executado", "Aplicativo: " + recentTasks.get(i).baseActivity.toShortString() + "\t\t ID: " + recentTasks.get(i).id);
}
For API Level 21 use getAppTasks
The method getRunningTasks(int maxNum), was depreciated in API level 21 (LOLLIPOP), for security reasons, for the possibility of leaking personal information to third-party applications. (If using this method be aware that it will not be supported for future Android versions).

Android is a system that cares a lot for stability and security, and so the possibility of closing application can already be discarded, the maximum you can is close background tasks (Activity Manager) pause I think it’s not as if not by the user himself and start you can take a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3872063/launch-an-application-from-another-application-on-android I believe that a complete reference to what you can do is the Activity Manager: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html

See installed apps, stop them and uninstall them you can do by option
Configurações > Aplicativos. Other than that, I think that only with a "rooteado" device it would be possible to create another application to do the same.– utluiz
