[android-developers] Re: How to check the Foreground Process from a Service

Ok maybe, I have the Activity Stack mannerism wrong. But the fact
that when you hit the back button it knows to go from your app, to
another app that's not your's, or to the home screen. Theirs a list
somewhere in memory for it to do this. By checking the foreground
from my service, is knowing that the user can do whatever they want
to. That's how I planned on turning off my app. So you don't have to
comeback to it, to turn it off.

the onCreate that I'm referring about is in my activity.
