Well ... maybe to clarify what Im trying to get done. I want just to
launch a notification to the user only if he is not in one of the
"screens" (Activities) of my application. If the user find himself
using the application I just want to move him to the next screen.
Basically ...
if ( <the user is using my app) {
startActivity(new Intent(...) );
}
else{
// Launch the appropriate notification just not to be intrusive
}
I was checking in the Activity/ActivityManager public interface, but I
dont quite get how to check if the user is actually using my
application of not.
Can you explain me a bit more how to do this with the approach you
mention ? or if there is an alternative way to do it ?
Thanks again for the time.
