decide if app is runnig or is not

I have an application in which I have a particular event receiver. My goal is to display a dialog box when the application is running, otherwise (ie if the application is not running) show a notification.

The events such as notifications or displaying dialog boxes I have implemented. I can not determine whether the user has the application on or off.

Any ideas ?

application still alive or not

public boolean isAppRunning()
    {
        boolean appFound = false;
        final ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
        final List<RunningTaskInfo> recentTasks = activityManager.getRunningTasks(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

        for (RunningTaskInfo recentTask : recentTasks)
        {

            if (recentTask.baseActivity.getPackageName().equals("package.Name"))
            {
                appFound = true;
                break;
            }

        }
        return appFound;
    }

Exact here -

ActivityManager activityManager =(ActivityManager)gpsService.this.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo> serviceList= activityManager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

if((serviceList.size() > 0)) {
    boolean found = false;

    for(int i = 0; i < serviceList.size(); i++) {
        RunningServiceInfo serviceInfo = serviceList.get(i);
        ComponentName serviceName = serviceInfo.service;

        if(serviceName.getClassName().equals("Packagename.ActivityOrServiceName")) {
            //Your service or activity is running
            found = true;
            break;
        }
    }
    if(found) {
        //Close your app or service
    }
}

ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<RunningTaskInfo> runningTaskInfoList = am.getRunningTasks(1);
ComponentName componentName = runningTaskInfoList.get(0).topActivity;

String runningActivityName = componentName.getClassName();
String runningActivityPackageName = componentName.getPackageName();

It requires "android.permission.GET_TASKS" permission.
