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

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;   }

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.
