How to determine if an Android Service is running in the foreground?

Question

I have a service which I believe to have running in the foreground, How do I check if my implementation is working?

Answer 1

public static boolean isServiceRunningInForeground(Context context, Class<?> serviceClass) {       ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);       for (ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {          if (serviceClass.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) {             if (service.foreground) {                return true;             }           }       }       return false;    } 

Answer 2

private boolean isServiceRunning(String serviceName){     boolean serviceRunning = false;     ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);     List<ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo> l = am.getRunningServices(50);     Iterator<ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo> i = l.iterator();     while (i.hasNext()) {         ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo runningServiceInfo = i                 .next();          if(runningServiceInfo.service.getClassName().equals(serviceName)){             serviceRunning = true;              if(runningServiceInfo.foreground)             {                 //service run in foreground             }         }     }     return serviceRunning; } 

If you want to know if your service is running in foreground just open some others fat applications and then check if service is still running or just check flag service.foreground.
