Hey,
what do you mean by "i need to check, if the app is active or ideal state" and why do you need to check that?
When the app goes into the background the onPause() method is called before the app "disappears" from the screen. If you close the app completely the onDestroy() method is called and is in idle state.

In your context the app is in the Pause-State.
