The real solution is: study http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html, especially the parts on lifecycles of activities, services and broadcast receivers (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ fundamentals.html#lcycles). Then take into account what Dianne said (that there is no such broadcast). After studying that section, you will more likely come up with the real solution to your problem. It may help, for example, to notice that though there is no "app started" broadcast, you can tell when your own applications/activities lose the foreground or become invisible. This is almost the same information, since launching another app is what causes yours to lose foreground (device going to sleep will do this too). So you may be able to get close enough by waiting for onPause() and onStop() events, overriding these methods.
