Try this code:

  ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService( ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
    List<RunningAppProcessInfo> procInfos = activityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
    for(int i = 0; i < procInfos.size(); i++)
    {
        if(procInfos.get(i).processName.equals("put the package name here")) 
        {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Notify Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

Depending on the Android version running your application, you will have to use different methods. On Pre-Lollipop devices, it is pretty straight-forward:

String[] result = new String[2];

List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> runningTasks;
ComponentName componentInfo;

runningTasks = activityManager.getRunningTasks(1);
componentInfo = runningTasks.get(0).topActivity;
result[0] = componentInfo.getPackageName();
result[1] = componentInfo.getClassName();

If you are on a Lollipop or newer device, you have to use UsageStatsManager class, which requires your application to be granted specific permissions

//no inspection ResourceType
UsageStatsManager mUsageStatsManager = (UsageStatsManager)context.getSystemService("usagestats");
long time = System.currentTimeMillis();

// We get usage stats for the last 10 seconds
List<UsageStats> stats = mUsageStatsManager.queryUsageStats(UsageStatsManager.INTERVAL_DAILY, time - 1000*10, time);

// Sort the stats by the last time used
if(stats != null) {
    SortedMap<Long,UsageStats> mySortedMap = new TreeMap<>();
    for (UsageStats usageStats : stats) {
        mySortedMap.put(usageStats.getLastTimeUsed(),usageStats);
    }
    if(mySortedMap != null && !mySortedMap.isEmpty()) {
        return mySortedMap.get(mySortedMap.lastKey()).getPackageName();
    }
}

return null;

This will tell you if your apps has been granted permissions:

try {
    PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
    ApplicationInfo applicationInfo = packageManager.getApplicationInfo(context.getPackageName(), 0);
    AppOpsManager appOpsManager = (AppOpsManager) context.getSystemService(Context.APP_OPS_SERVICE);
    int mode = appOpsManager.checkOpNoThrow(AppOpsManager.OPSTR_GET_USAGE_STATS, applicationInfo.uid, applicationInfo.packageName);
    return (mode != AppOpsManager.MODE_ALLOWED);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
    return false;
}

And finally this will launch the Android permission granting activity for the user:

Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_USAGE_ACCESS_SETTINGS);
activity.startActivity(intent);

Hope that helps

No, this is not really possible using the public SDK.

You can get the current running process by ActivityManager#getRunningAppProcesses But it is definitely impossible to get notified .However, it isn't the most accurate, or efficient method
