You can write code for callback activity in onRestart() Method.

`onRestart()` will fire if the application re-starts, but when Application comes from back to foreground, normally `onResume()` gets fire. – Lucifer Apr 28 '14 at 05:40

whenever you press back button and come on foreground activity that time onRestart() will be called you can try – shweta_jain Apr 28 '14 at 05:41

ActivityManager.getRunningTasks(1).get(0).yourActivity.getPackageName()
This method can get the foreground app package name.
you can use thread listen change.
