How to know that app has been paused in Android Q?

Question

Is there any callback that the app has been paused in Android Q? I'd like to do some actions with the app in such a case, but I can't find any descriptions of it.

"Pause app" is a new feature of Android Q: https://9to5google.com/2019/05/21/digital-wellbeing-pixel-launch-pause-app/

It's not onPause() lifecycle method.

For other users downvoting his question - this is about a feature in Google's Digital Wellbeing program which has been pushed to Pixel phones - not about the activity lifecycle

For OP - I don't think you will get a satisfactory answer to this yet. I have looked through the Android Q Beta documentation and they are not offering links to anything specific. However for developers in the future, I think the term to search for is "distraction state" as mentioned in their docs:

Per-app distraction state -- Android Q can now selectively set apps to a "distraction state" where their notifications are suppressed and they will not appear as suggested apps.

For now the only thing I can suggest is to not target android Q in gradle. So today the correct answer is this information / api has not been made public yet
