This project demonstrates using the new ProcessLifecycleOwner (bundled with Lifecycle Architecture Components) to react to foreground and background events.
ProcessLifecycleOwner provides lifecycle for the whole application process. For more details, see my post on Medium.
App is foregrounded. ProcessLifecycleOwner notifies the LifecycleObserver of Lifecycle.Event.ON_START
App is backgrounded. ProcessLifecycleOwner notifies the LifecycleObserver of Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP
