When your app is in the background, the user isn't "engaged" with it at all. With newer versions of Android, the OS may immediately kill your backgrounded app at any time without warning, so it's even more difficult to calculate a meaningful metric for background time. It seems to me that background time is a mostly meaningless metric, in terms of analytics. Background time has a use in Firebase Performance Monitoring, but app performance in this respect isn't the same as analytics.
