Try this

public static boolean isForeground(Context context) {
    ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    List tasks = manager.getRunningAppProcesses();
    if(tasks.isEmpty())
        return false;

    for (ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo task : tasks) {
        if(context.getPackageName().equalsIgnoreCase(task.processName)){
            return task.importance == ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo.IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
