下面是我解决这个问题的方法。它的工作前提是，在活动转换之间使用时间参考最有可能提供足够的证据来证明应用程序是否“背景化”。

首先，我使用了一个android.app.Application实例(让我们称它为MyApplication)，它有一个Timer，一个TimerTask，一个常量来表示从一个活动过渡到另一个活动可以合理地花费的最大毫秒数(我用了一个2s的值)，一个布尔值来指示应用程序是否“在后台”:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

    private Timer mActivityTransitionTimer;
    private TimerTask mActivityTransitionTimerTask;
    public boolean wasInBackground;
    private final long MAX_ACTIVITY_TRANSITION_TIME_MS = 2000;
    ...

应用程序还提供了两种方法来启动和停止定时器/任务:

public void startActivityTransitionTimer() {
    this.mActivityTransitionTimer = new Timer();
    this.mActivityTransitionTimerTask = new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {
            MyApplication.this.wasInBackground = true;
        }
    };

    this.mActivityTransitionTimer.schedule(mActivityTransitionTimerTask,
                                           MAX_ACTIVITY_TRANSITION_TIME_MS);
}

public void stopActivityTransitionTimer() {
    if (this.mActivityTransitionTimerTask != null) {
        this.mActivityTransitionTimerTask.cancel();
    }

    if (this.mActivityTransitionTimer != null) {
        this.mActivityTransitionTimer.cancel();
    }

    this.wasInBackground = false;
}

这个解决方案的最后一部分是从所有活动的onResume()和onPause()事件中添加对这些方法的调用，或者，最好是在所有具体活动继承的基础活动中:

@Override
public void onResume()
{
    super.onResume();

    MyApplication myApp = (MyApplication)this.getApplication();
    if (myApp.wasInBackground)
    {
        //Do specific came-here-from-background code
    }

    myApp.stopActivityTransitionTimer();
}

@Override
public void onPause()
{
    super.onPause();
    ((MyApplication)this.getApplication()).startActivityTransitionTimer();
}

所以在这种情况下，当用户只是在你的应用程序的活动之间导航，离开活动的onPause()启动定时器，但几乎立即进入的新活动取消定时器之前，它可以达到最大过渡时间。wasInBackground也是假的。

另一方面，当一个Activity从启动器来到前台，设备被唤醒，结束电话呼叫等，更有可能是定时器任务在此事件之前执行，因此wasInBackground被设置为true。

The principal problem is that you have to get an specific behavior when you start an activity from background. If you override your onPause() and onResume() methods, you'll have a close answer, but not the solution. The problem is that onPause() and onResume() methods are called even if you don't minimize your application, they can be called when you start an activity and later you press the back button to return to your activity. To eliminate that problem and to know really when your application comes from background, you must to get the running process and compare with your process:

private boolean isApplicationBroughtToBackground() {
    ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    List<RunningTaskInfo> tasks = am.getRunningTasks(1);
    if (!tasks.isEmpty()) {
        ComponentName topActivity = tasks.get(0).topActivity;
        if (!topActivity.getPackageName().equals(getPackageName())) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

现在你必须声明一个布尔变量:

public boolean wasPaused = false;

并询问你的活动何时进入后台:

@Override
public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    if(isApplicationBroughtToBackground())
        wasPaused = true;
}

现在，当你的活动再次出现在屏幕上时，在onResume()方法中询问:

@Override
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    if(wasPaused){
        lockScreen(true);
    }
    wasPaused = false;
}

就是这样。现在，当您的活动进入后台，稍后用户将其带到前台时，锁定屏幕将出现。

如果你想为你的应用程序的任何活动重复这个行为，你必须创建一个活动(可以是BaseActivity)，放这个方法，你所有的活动都必须从BaseActivity继承。

我希望这对你有帮助。

问候!

基于Martín marconcini的回答(谢谢!)我终于找到了一个可靠(而且非常简单)的解决方案。

public class ApplicationLifecycleHandler implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks, ComponentCallbacks2 {

    private static final String TAG = ApplicationLifecycleHandler.class.getSimpleName();
    private static boolean isInBackground = false;

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle bundle) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {

        if(isInBackground){
            Log.d(TAG, "app went to foreground");
            isInBackground = false;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle bundle) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration configuration) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTrimMemory(int i) {
        if(i == ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN){
            Log.d(TAG, "app went to background");
            isInBackground = true;
        }
    }
}

然后将其添加到Application类的onCreate()中

public class MyApp extends android.app.Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        ApplicationLifeCycleHandler handler = new ApplicationLifeCycleHandler();
        registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(handler);
        registerComponentCallbacks(handler);

    }

}

我所做的是确保所有应用程序内的活动启动startActivityForResult，然后检查onActivityResult是否在onResume之前被调用。如果不是，这意味着我们刚刚从应用程序之外的某个地方返回。

boolean onActivityResultCalledBeforeOnResume;

@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
    startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
    onActivityResultCalledBeforeOnResume = true;
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (!onActivityResultCalledBeforeOnResume) {
        // here, app was brought to foreground
    }
    onActivityResultCalledBeforeOnResume = false;
}

由于我没有找到任何方法，它也处理旋转而不检查时间戳，我想我也分享我们现在如何在我们的应用程序中这样做。 对这个答案https://stackoverflow.com/a/42679191/5119746唯一的补充是，我们还考虑了方向。

class MyApplication : Application(), Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {

   // Members

   private var mAppIsInBackground = false
   private var mCurrentOrientation: Int? = null
   private var mOrientationWasChanged = false
   private var mResumed = 0
   private var mPaused = 0

然后，对于回调，我们首先有简历:

   // ActivityLifecycleCallbacks

   override fun onActivityResumed(activity: Activity?) {

      mResumed++

      if (mAppIsInBackground) {

         // !!! App came from background !!! Insert code

         mAppIsInBackground = false
      }
      mOrientationWasChanged = false
    }

和onActivityStopped:

   override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {

       if (mResumed == mPaused && !mOrientationWasChanged) {

       // !!! App moved to background !!! Insert code

        mAppIsInBackground = true
    }

然后，这里是附加的:检查方向变化:

   override fun onConfigurationChanged(newConfig: Configuration) {

       if (newConfig.orientation != mCurrentOrientation) {
           mCurrentOrientation = newConfig.orientation
           mOrientationWasChanged = true
       }
       super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig)
   }

就是这样。希望这能帮助到一些人:)

ActivityLifecycleCallbacks可能很有趣，但是没有很好的文档。

但是，如果您调用registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks()，您应该能够在活动被创建、销毁等时获得回调。您可以为活动调用getComponentName()。
