A simple way might be to call rosservice.

Alternatively you can use the ROS Master API. In this case getSystemState.

With this code, you can get the name of all the running services and copy them to an array.

ros::init(argc, argv, "node");
    ros::NodeHandle n;
    XmlRpc::XmlRpcValue req = "/node";
    XmlRpc::XmlRpcValue res;
    XmlRpc::XmlRpcValue pay;

    if (ros::ok() == true)
    {
ros::master::execute("getSystemState",req ,res ,pay ,true);
    std::string state[res.size()];
      for(int x=0 ; x<res[2][2].size() ; x++)
      {
          std::string gh = res[2][2][x][0].toXml().c_str();
          gh.erase(gh.begin(), gh.begin()+7);
          gh.erase(gh.end()-8, gh.end());
          state[x] = gh;
      }
}
