setUserVisibleHint probably may not be called, onHiddenChanged may be called not every time when another fragment is being closed. So, you may rely on onResume (and onPause), but it is usually called too often (for example, when you turn on a device screen). Also in some situations it is not called, you should manage current fragment in host activity and write:

if (currentFragment != null) {
    currentFragment.onResume();
}
