let me write it more kotlinish way :)

@Suppress("DEPRECATION") // Deprecated for third party Services.
inline fun <reified T> Context.isServiceRunning2() =
    (getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE) as ActivityManager)
        .getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)
        .any { it.service.className == T::class.java.name }

Does anyone know if it's possible to see if an activity/service of another app is currently active/in foreground?
Working with android 10 - making a launcher for another (older) app and have to be able to see if it's already running or not (so that I don't start it twice).
