Android Question Check Activity state from foreground service

[Maciej]

Hello,

Is it possible to check an Activity state (running, paused, ...) from a foreground service ?

Thank you in advance,
Maciej

Yes, just do IsPaused(Main).

Oups, I forgot to precise : to check the state of an Activity of another Android application (foreground service does not belong to the application I would like to check the state) ...

Ok, it is still possible BUT google is going to change the API in the L Preview so be careful with it.

Thank you !
I have also found this one :

Yes, that also uses the same API so just to be sure you may want to test on Android L if it works.

Yes, just do IsPaused(Main).

Your reply is a godsend @thedesolatesoul
