Basically you can listen to App changes with WidgetBindingsObserver https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/WidgetsBindingObserver-class.html

A good article for this (especially lockscreen) can be found here: https://medium.com/@tomalabasteruk/flutter-in-app-lock-screens-f6a17fa02af

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> with WidgetsBindingObserver {
  AppLifecycleState _notification; 
  @override
  void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {
    setState(() {
      _notification = state;
    });
  }

  @override
  initState() {
    super.initState();
    WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);
    ...
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
    super.dispose();
  }
}
