How to check if the current activity is the main/launcher activity in java

Question

Is there any method such as isMainActivity() to detect the main/launcher activity in Android?

Answer 1

You can do this:

Intent intent = getIntent();

String action = intent.getAction();             
Set<String> categories = intent.getCategories();

Then, with that info you can check if your current activity is your MAIN/LAUNCHER activity.
