You can retrieve the current default keyboard using:
You will get a result like
com.touchtype.swiftkey/com.touchtype.KeyboardServicefor various keyboards. The first part is the main package name of the keyboard, and the second is the name of the Keyboard Service it uses. Simply parse this String to see if it matches the info for Swype (I can only provide SwiftKey’s details right now, as I don’t have Swype installed).
