Is there a way to find out which app has the camera locked?

Question

In our app we're using camera to scan QR codes. I got a few crashes on the dev console saying "fail to connect to camera service". Reading around I found out it is possible that another app has the camera opened and didn't call release() onPause (I tested this is possible with a simple app that behaves like this). I already made an error message for the user instead of crash however I'd like to point the user to the app that is blocking access to camera. Is something like this possible or the best I can do is "please exit any applications that might be using the camera and try again"?

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible.
