WP8.1 Runtime has little different lifecycle - see MSDN. Depending on your needs you can use:

  • App.Current.Resuming event is called when you resume your app after it had been suspended by the OS - very often, typically few seconds after you navigate away, see also How to Resume an app,
  • Windows.Current.Activated is called when Window is activated/deactivated - you will have to check event's args. This event doesn't mean that your app had been suspended. You should also look out because this event will be fired for example when you show a dialog (when your window loses focus).
  • override methods from Application class - after using file pickers, sharing a target and more.
