Listener when an application is started?

问题

Is there any way to implement a listener which is notified when any application is started?Not my application any application is started or stopped?

If not possible is there a way to find out if a particular application has started or stopped i,e a listener when facebook app(for example) is started or stopped?

use a STICKY Service that tracks all of the running application

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) 
{

    Timer timer  =  new Timer();
    timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

        public void run() 
        {
            final ActivityManager activityManager  =  (ActivityManager)getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
            final List<RunningTaskInfo> services  =  activityManager.getRunningTasks(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
                 for (int i = 0; i < services.size(); i++) {
                     if(!stalkList.contains(services.get(i).baseActivity.getPackageName()))
                     {
                          // you may broad cast a new application launch here.  
                          stalkList.add(services.get(i).baseActivity.getPackageName());
                     }
                }

                 List<RunningAppProcessInfo> procInfos = activityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
                for(int i = 0; i < procInfos.size(); i++) {  

                    ArrayList<String> runningPkgs = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(procInfos.get(i).pkgList));

                    Collection diff = subtractSets(runningPkgs, stalkList); 

                    if(diff != null)
                    {
                        stalkList.removeAll(diff);
                    }
               }


        }
    }, 20000, 6000);  // every 6 seconds


    return START_STICKY;
}

you where able to do it like I do here: https://github.com/ligi/Setec-Astronomy

but it is not possible with newer versions of android as you do not have the needed entries in the log any more :-(
