    return isAppOnForeground(context);
}

private boolean isAppOnForeground(Context context) {
    ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    List appProcesses = activityManager
            .getRunningAppProcesses();
    if (appProcesses == null) {
        return false;
    }
    final String packageName = context.getPackageName();


    String activePackageName = activityManager.getRunningTasks(1).get(0).topActivity.getPackageName();
    if (activePackageName.equals(packageName)) {
        return true;
    }
    else{
        return false;
    }
