open app when connect with wifi

How can I open my application when an user enters a zone that has wi-fi? Is this possible? Suppose my application is onPause() state (means My Device's homescreen). now when device connected with wifi. it will automatically open my application.

Maybe doable with the Tasker app from Play Store (not free though). Or you can create a Service (http://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html) that will have code outlined in the other answers and then launch your app (Activity) when wifi is available.

What I can imagine is an overwriting of the onPause() Method like this:

@Override
public void onPause() {
    String conn_context = Context.WIFI_SERVICE;
    final WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(conn_context);
    if (wifi.isWifiEnabled())
    {
      super.onResume();
    }
    else
    {
      super.onPause(); 
    }
}

But you must also figure a way to handle the real onPause event.

Try add broadcast receiver and listen network changes, when wi-fi connected start your activity. Something like this solution

public class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

                ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
                NetworkInfo wifi = connMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
                NetworkInfo mobile = connMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
                if (((null != wifi)&&(wifi.isAvailable())) || ((null != mobile)&&(mobile.isAvailable()))){
                    Intent uplIntent = new Intent(context, YourActivity.class);
                    uplIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    context.startActivity(uplIntent);
                }

    }
}

And add to manifest 

    <receiver android:name=".receiver.ConnectivityReceiver">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
