I want to create an app can help me control my Facebook addiction and waste time on my phone. So I want to create an android application start when I open an app like Facebook or Twitter , when I open Facebook, my app will start timing and tell me after a time that I setting in it. Can I do that, or should I run my app on the background. I'm new to android so I don't know where to find information or keyword to research. Sorry for my bad English.

1there are already so many apps which are doing that like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zerodesktop.appdetox.qualitytime, so yeah it is possible ,may be they are running some background services which keeps track of time of every app usage – Ajay Chauhan Oct 10 '18 at 12:31

Hey there is no direct way of doing it, but you have to figure out the solution for that by running a service and accessing stats
refer this thread for detail this thread
this particular latest answer on that
you may have to figure out a solution for that and its possible, many apps are doing it.
upvoted your question, because i liked the question and idea. Please post back the best solution you implement, so that someone in the future might benefit of it and the i guess few of the solutions given are already outdated now.
