Comment(by smcv):

 The reason your activity gets log messages about unrelated activities is
 that it creates s.p.a.Activity objects for them. The fact that it creates
 those objects is a bug in the s.p.a API, which can't be fixed without
 incompatible API changes :-(

 (The activity property changes take place outside your "private channel" -
 they have to, for the Shell to be able to see the properties of activities
 you're not in - and activities and the Shell are both notified about them
 if they have asked to be. The API bug is that the s.p.a client library
 automatically asks PS about *everyone*'s activity property changes.)
