Android : How to detect if my Application class was opened by user click or by itself in background

Question

I wanted to know when my Application class' onCreate is called, whether it was created due to user opening the app or by itself due to some reason like broadcast received/job started etc. Please help.

Can you please know, how you want to know by notification or By Toas? — Dhaval Solanki, Mar 01 '18 at 03:26

You can set boolean variable inside pref. Set this variable to true inside your broadcast/service. And Inside onCreate method just check for that value. And also set it to false after using it in onCreate

Better approach would be to set a flag/tag from your service as described in below post. And in activity check is the flag/tag is available and perform necessary operations.
