你可以使用ComponentCallbacks2来检测应用程序是否在后台。顺便说一下，这个回调只在API级别14(冰淇淋三明治)及以上可用。

你会得到一个方法的调用:

onTrimMemory (int级)

如果级别是ComponentCallbacks2。TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN则应用程序处于后台。

您可以将此接口实现到活动、服务等。

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ComponentCallbacks2 {
   @Override
   public void onConfigurationChanged(final Configuration newConfig) {

   }

   @Override
   public void onLowMemory() {

   }

   @Override
   public void onTrimMemory(final int level) {
     if (level == ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN) {
        // app is in background
     }
   }
}

根据CommonsWare和Key所说的，你可以扩展Application类，并让你所有的活动在onPause/onResume方法上调用它。这将允许您知道哪些活动是可见的，但这可能会得到更好的处理。

你能详细说明一下你的想法吗?当你说在后台运行，你的意思是简单地让你的应用程序仍然在内存中，即使它目前不在屏幕上?你有没有考虑过使用服务作为一种更持久的方式来管理你的应用程序，当它不在焦点?

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。

我认为这个问题应该更清楚。什么时候?在哪里?你想知道应用是否处于后台的具体情况是什么?

我只是用我的方法介绍我的解决方案。 我通过在我的应用程序中的每个活动的onStop方法中使用RunningAppProcessInfo类的字段“重要性”来完成这一点，这可以简单地通过为其他活动提供一个BaseActivity来扩展，实现onStop方法来检查“重要性”的值。代码如下:

public static boolean isAppRunning(Context context) {
    ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context
        .getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    List<RunningAppProcessInfo> appProcesses = activityManager
        .getRunningAppProcesses();
    for (RunningAppProcessInfo appProcess : appProcesses) {
        if (appProcess.processName.equals(context.getPackageName())) {
            if (appProcess.importance != RunningAppProcessInfo.IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE) {
                return true;
            } 
        }
    }
    return false;
}

不要用这个答案

user1269737的答案是正确的(谷歌/Android批准)方法来做到这一点。去读他们的答案，给他们一个+1。

为了子孙后代，我将把我最初的答案留在这里。这在2012年是最好的，但现在Android已经对此提供了适当的支持。

原来的答案

The key is using ActivityLifecycleCallbacks (note that this requires Android API level 14 (Android 4.0)). Just check if the number of stopped activities is equal to the number of started activities. If they're equal, your application is being backgrounded. If there are more started activities, your application is still visible. If there are more resumed than paused activities, your application is not only visible, but it's also in the foreground. There are 3 main states that your activity can be in, then: visible and in the foreground, visible but not in the foreground, and not visible and not in the foreground (i.e. in the background).

这个方法的真正优点是它没有getRunningTasks()所做的异步问题，但你也不必修改应用程序中的每个Activity来设置/取消onresume ()/onPaused()中的某些内容。它只是几行自包含的代码，它可以在整个应用程序中工作。另外，它也不需要奇怪的权限。

MyLifecycleHandler.java:

public class MyLifecycleHandler implements ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
    // I use four separate variables here. You can, of course, just use two and
    // increment/decrement them instead of using four and incrementing them all.
    private int resumed;
    private int paused;
    private int started;
    private int stopped;

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

    @Override
    public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {
        ++resumed;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {
        ++paused;
        android.util.Log.w("test", "application is in foreground: " + (resumed > paused));
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
        ++started;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
        ++stopped;
        android.util.Log.w("test", "application is visible: " + (started > stopped));
    }

    // If you want a static function you can use to check if your application is
    // foreground/background, you can use the following:
    /*
    // Replace the four variables above with these four
    private static int resumed;
    private static int paused;
    private static int started;
    private static int stopped;

    // And these two public static functions
    public static boolean isApplicationVisible() {
        return started > stopped;
    }

    public static boolean isApplicationInForeground() {
        return resumed > paused;
    }
    */
}

MyApplication.java:

// Don't forget to add it to your manifest by doing
// <application android:name="your.package.MyApplication" ...
public class MyApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        // Simply add the handler, and that's it! No need to add any code
        // to every activity. Everything is contained in MyLifecycleHandler
        // with just a few lines of code. Now *that's* nice.
        registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new MyLifecycleHandler());
    }
}

@Mewzer问了一些关于这种方法的好问题，我想在这里回答大家:

onStop()在内存不足的情况下不会被调用;这里有问题吗?

不。onStop()的文档说:

注意，这个方法可能永远不会被调用，在低内存的情况下，在调用onPause()方法后，系统没有足够的内存来保持你的活动进程运行。

这里的关键是“保持您的活动进程运行…”如果达到这种低内存情况，您的进程实际上会被杀死(不仅仅是您的活动)。这意味着这种检查后台性的方法仍然有效，因为a)如果您的进程被杀死，您无论如何都不能检查后台性，b)如果您的进程再次启动(因为创建了一个新的活动)，MyLifecycleHandler的成员变量(无论是静态的还是非静态的)将被重置为0。

这是否适用于配置更改?

By default, no. You have to explicitly set configChanges=orientation|screensize (| with anything else you want) in your manifest file and handle the configuration changes, or else your activity will be destroyed and recreated. If you do not set this, your activity's methods will be called in this order: onCreate -> onStart -> onResume -> (now rotate) -> onPause -> onStop -> onDestroy -> onCreate -> onStart -> onResume. As you can see, there is no overlap (normally, two activities overlap very briefly when switching between the two, which is how this backgrounding-detection method works). In order to get around this, you must set configChanges so that your activity is not destroyed. Fortunately, I've had to set configChanges already in all of my projects because it was undesirable for my entire activity to get destroyed on screen rotate/resize, so I've never found this to be problematic. (thanks to dpimka for refreshing my memory on this and correcting me!)

注意:一个

当我在这个回答中说“背景”时，我的意思是“你的应用不再可见”。Android活动可以是可见的，但不是在前台(例如，如果有一个透明的通知覆盖)。这就是为什么我更新了这个答案来反映这一点。

重要的是要知道，当切换活动时，前台没有任何东西，Android有一个奇怪的边缘时刻。出于这个原因，如果你在切换活动(在同一个应用程序中)时检查你的应用程序是否在前台，你会被告知你不在前台(即使你的应用程序仍然是活动的应用程序并且可见)。

你可以在super.onPause()之后的Activity的onPause()方法中检查你的应用程序是否在前台。记住我刚才说过的奇怪的边缘状态。

你可以检查你的应用程序是否可见(即如果它不在后台)在你的活动的onStop()方法后super.onStop()。

没有任何解决方案适合我，但我提出了一个原始的解决方案。这应该有用。如果isAppBackground返回false，那么app必须在前台。

public static boolean isAppBackground(Context context){
        boolean isBackground=true;
        ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT_WATCH){
            List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> runningProcesses =activityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
            for(ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo processInfo:runningProcesses){
                if(processInfo.importance==ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo.IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND){
                    for(String activeProcess:processInfo.pkgList){
                        if(activeProcess.equals(context.getPackageName())){
                            isBackground = false;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }else{
            List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = activityManager.getRunningTasks(1);
            if(taskInfo.size()>0) {
                ComponentName componentName = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
                if(componentName.getPackageName().equals(context.getPackageName())){
                    isBackground = false;
                }
            }
        }
        return isBackground;
    }
