Stop focusing on one technical solution (finding out when the device is
on the home screen) and focus on the business objective: you want to
minimize interference between your application and other running
applications.

Lowering your thread priority is one way to achieve that business
objective, without having to worry about what exactly is running. In
particular, it will not matter whether the home screen is active or not.

After all, not everybody returns to the home screen and leaves their
phone in that state, so your intended solution (do work when the device
is on the home screen) will not work for a significant number of users.
