当一个对话框出现在活动上方时，活动将被暂停，因此所有推荐的解决方案都是半解决方案。您还需要为对话框创建钩子。

如果你打开开发人员设置“不要保留活动”-只检查创建的活动数量不够。您还必须检查isSaveInstanceState。我的自定义方法isApplicationRunning()检查android应用程序是否正在运行:

下面是我的工作代码:

public class AppLifecycleService implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
    private int created;
    private boolean isSaveInstanceState;
    private static AppLifecycleService instance;

    private final static String TAG = AppLifecycleService.class.getName();

    public static AppLifecycleService getInstance() {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new AppLifecycleService();
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public static boolean isApplicationRunning() {
        boolean isApplicationRunning = true;
        if (getCountCreatedActvities() == 0 && !isSaveInstanceState()) {
            isApplicationRunning = false;
        }
        return isApplicationRunning;
    }

    public static boolean isSaveInstanceState() {
        return AppLifecycleService.getInstance().isSaveInstanceState;
    }

    public static int getCountCreatedActvities() {
        return AppLifecycleService.getInstance().created;
    }

    private AppLifecycleService() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState) {
        this.isSaveInstanceState = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ++created;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
        --created;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {   }

    @Override
    public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) { }


    @Override
    public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) { }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) { }        

}

我尝试了推荐的使用Application的解决方案。ActivityLifecycleCallbacks和许多其他的，但是它们没有像预期的那样工作。感谢Sarge，我想出了一个非常简单和直接的解决方案，我将在下面描述。

解决方案的关键是理解这样一个事实:如果我们有ActivityA和ActivityB，并且我们从ActivityA调用ActivityB(而不是调用ActivityA.finish)，那么ActivityB的onStart()将在ActivityA onStop()之前被调用。

这也是onStop()和onPause()之间的主要区别，在我读过的文章中没有人提到。

So based on this Activity's Lifecycle behavior, you can simply count how many times did onStart() and onPause() got called in your program. Note that for each Activity of your program, you must override onStart() and onStop(), in order to increment/decrement the static variable used for counting. Below is the code implementing this logic. Note that I am using a class that extends Application, so dont forget to declare on Manifest.xml inside Application tag: android:name=".Utilities", although it can be implemented using a simple custom class too.

public class Utilities extends Application
{
    private static int stateCounter;

    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.onCreate();
        stateCounter = 0;
    }

    /**
     * @return true if application is on background
     * */
    public static boolean isApplicationOnBackground()
    {
        return stateCounter == 0;
    }

    //to be called on each Activity onStart()
    public static void activityStarted()
    {
        stateCounter++;
    }

    //to be called on each Activity onStop()
    public static void activityStopped()
    {
        stateCounter--;
    }
}

现在，在我们程序的每个活动上，我们应该重写onStart()和onStop()和增量/减量，如下所示:

@Override
public void onStart()
{
    super.onStart();
    Utilities.activityStarted();
}

@Override
public void onStop()
{
    Utilities.activityStopped();
    if(Utilities.isApplicationOnBackground())
    {
        //you should want to check here if your application is on background
    }
    super.onStop();
}

根据这种逻辑，有两种可能的情况:

stateCounter = 0:停止活动的数量与启动活动的数量相等，这意味着应用程序正在后台运行。 stateCounter > 0:启动的次数大于停止的次数，即应用程序在前台运行。

注意:stateCounter < 0意味着有更多停止的活动而不是启动的活动，这是不可能的。如果您遇到这种情况，那么这意味着您没有像应该的那样增加/减少计数器。

你已经准备好了。你应该在onStop()中检查你的应用程序是否在后台。

由于没有提到它，我将建议读者探索通过Android架构组件提供的ProcessLifecycleOwner

如果你想知道一个特定的活动是否在前台，如果你是一个没有直接访问应用程序的SDK，那么没有一个答案非常适合特定的情况。对我来说，我在后台线程刚刚收到一个新的聊天消息的推送通知，只想在聊天屏幕不在前台时显示系统通知。

使用ActivityLifecycleCallbacks，正如在其他答案中推荐的那样，我已经创建了一个小的util类，它包含MyActivity是否在前台的逻辑。

class MyActivityMonitor(context: Context) : Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {

private var isMyActivityInForeground = false

init {
    (context.applicationContext as Application).registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(this)
}

fun isMyActivityForeground() = isMyActivityInForeground

override fun onActivityPaused(activity: Activity?) {
    if (activity is MyActivity) {
        isMyActivityInForeground = false
    }
}

override fun onActivityResumed(activity: Activity?) {
    if (activity is MyActivity) {
        isMyActivityInForeground = true
    }
}

}

这样怎么样:

boolean isBackgrounded() {
    try {
        context.startService(new Intent(action));
        return false;
    }
    catch (IllegalStateException exc) {
        // "Not allowed to start service Intent: app is in background"
        return true;
    }
}
