编辑:新的体系结构组件带来了一些有希望的东西:ProcessLifecycleOwner，参见@vokilam的回答

实际解决方案根据谷歌I/O谈话:

class YourApplication : Application() {

  override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(AppLifecycleTracker())
  }

}


class AppLifecycleTracker : Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks  {

  private var numStarted = 0

  override fun onActivityStarted(activity: Activity?) {
    if (numStarted == 0) {
      // app went to foreground
    }
    numStarted++
  }

  override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {
    numStarted--
    if (numStarted == 0) {
      // app went to background
    }
  }

}

是的。我知道很难相信这个简单的解决方案有效，因为我们有这么多奇怪的解决方案。

但还是有希望的。

ActivityLifecycleCallbacks可能很有趣，但是没有很好的文档。

但是，如果您调用registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks()，您应该能够在活动被创建、销毁等时获得回调。您可以为活动调用getComponentName()。

onPause()和onResume()方法在应用程序被带到后台并再次进入前台时被调用。但是，在应用程序第一次启动时和关闭之前也会调用它们。你可以在活动中阅读更多。

没有任何直接的方法来获得应用程序的状态，而在后台或前台，但即使我已经面临这个问题，并找到解决方案与onWindowFocusChanged和onStop。

更多细节请查看这里Android:解决方案检测当一个Android应用程序去后台，回到前台没有getRunningTasks或getRunningAppProcesses。

我喜欢ProcessLifecycleOwner方法，但实际上可以跳过所有这些，因为在Activity的onCreate()方法中，可以很容易地确定它是第一次运行还是后续运行:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        /* savedInstanceState is always null on first run */
    } else {
        /* it's a subsequent run */
    }
}

使用ProcessLifecycleOwner在Activity(或任何类)中从后台到前台检测app的示例。 当应用程序启动时，我缓存启动时间，然后在每个活动中，我将检查应用程序时间，以知道活动是否在第一时间启动或从后台启动

class MyApplication : Application(), LifecycleObserver {

    var appStartBeginTime: Long? = null

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        ProcessLifecycleOwner.get().lifecycle.addObserver(this);
    }

    @OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_START)
    fun onMoveToForeground() {
        Log.i("TAG", "onMoveToForeground")
        appStartBeginTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
    }
}

LoginActivity

class LoginActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    var localAppStartBeginTime: Long? = null

    ...
    
    // Detect in onResume() instead of onStart because 
    // onMoveToForeground() in MyApplication will fired before onStart 
    override fun onResume() {
        super.onResume()
        if (isOpenedFirstTimeOrFromBackground()) {
            Log.i("TAG", "open first time or from background")

            // do something: eg, call API
        } else {
            Log.i("TAG", "on in another time")
        }
    }

    private fun isOpenedFirstTimeOrFromBackground(): Boolean {
        val globalStartBeginTime = (application as MyApplication).appStartBeginTime
        if (localAppStartBeginTime != globalStartBeginTime) {
            localAppStartBeginTime = globalStartBeginTime
            return true
        }
        return false
    }
}

基于Martín marconcini的回答(谢谢!)我终于找到了一个可靠(而且非常简单)的解决方案。

public class ApplicationLifecycleHandler implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks, ComponentCallbacks2 {

    private static final String TAG = ApplicationLifecycleHandler.class.getSimpleName();
    private static boolean isInBackground = false;

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

    @Override
    public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {

        if(isInBackground){
            Log.d(TAG, "app went to foreground");
            isInBackground = false;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
    }

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

    @Override
    public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration configuration) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTrimMemory(int i) {
        if(i == ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN){
            Log.d(TAG, "app went to background");
            isInBackground = true;
        }
    }
}

然后将其添加到Application类的onCreate()中

public class MyApp extends android.app.Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        ApplicationLifeCycleHandler handler = new ApplicationLifeCycleHandler();
        registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(handler);
        registerComponentCallbacks(handler);

    }

}
