Question

How can I determine if the process com.android.browser is running?

Answer 1

Use ActivityManager#getRunningAppProcesses(). it will return a List of RunningAppProcessInfo. You can check the processName of each element in the list to see if it’s the process you’re looking for.

boolean isNamedProcessRunning(String processName)
{
    if (processName == null) return false;

    ActivityManager manager = 
        (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    List<RunningProcessInfo> processes = manager.getRunningAppProcesses();

    for (RunningProcessInfo process : processes)
    {
        if (processName.equals(process.processName)))
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
