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

Issue

I have a service which I believe to have running in the foreground, How do I check if my implementation is working?

Solution

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.
