There is an undocumented (but relatively well-known) function:

I think you might need to figure out a Windows shell command that does that and use the SYSTEM function to call into the shell.

To find the running tasks: [response,tasks] = system('tasklist');
e.g. to find Excel [response,tasks] = system('tasklist/fi "imagename eq Excel.exe"')

A .NET solution:
name = 'excel'; %for example
p = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(name);
if p.Length == 1
pid = p(1).Id; %You must index into p (not p.Id), as this changes the class type
end
