android:how to check if application is running in

Question

I have the solution.

public static boolean isApplicationSentToBackground(final Context context) {
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<RunningTaskInfo> tasks = am.getRunningTasks(1);
if (!tasks.isEmpty()) {
  ComponentName topActivity = tasks.get(0).topActivity;
  if (!topActivity.getPackageName().equals(context.getPackageName())) {
    return true;
  }
}

return false;

}

It works fine.

How I can to check that my application really in background? For example, I opened activity and started new Activity - standard Gallery (started from my application). This intent was started from my activity, and my application logically in foreground. I can check my activities, but how to check this situation too?

AND how can I check that the application was sent to the background FROM external activity (on this example - gallery)?

public boolean isApplicationSentToBackground(final Context context) {

  Boolean flag = false;
  ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
    List < ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo > tasks = am.getRunningTasks(1);
    if (!tasks.isEmpty()) {
      ComponentName topActivity = tasks.get(0).topActivity;
      if (!topActivity.getPackageName().equals(context.getPackageName())) {
        flag = true;
      }
    }
  } else {
    try {
      Thread.sleep(1500);
      flag = false;
      List < ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo > runningProcesses = am.getRunningAppProcesses();
      for (ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo processInfo: runningProcesses) {
        if (processInfo.importance == ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo.IMPORTANCE_BACKGROUND) {
          for (String activeProcess: processInfo.pkgList) {
            if (activeProcess.equals(context.getPackageName())) {
              flag = true;
            }
          }
        }
      }
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
  return flag;
}
