You can use application state change callbacks to grab its different visibility states (READY, CREATED, RUNNING, PAUSED, TERMINATED). 
The only difference between native app and service is, Since the service application has no UI, so it has no pause state.

To know details about Native Application State Change Callbacks and Service application Event callbacks, check the link bellow

you didn't get the question! I know with application lifecycle callbacks. I want to know about other apps. I want to know when which app is being seen by user. Hope this clarifies the question.

I don't see any callback to receive visibility of other apps. But there is an online sample app named "Taskmanager" which shows all the running applications. When you open any other apps, "Taskmanager" app will show that app in the running app list using its app id. You may get help from this application.

Sample app location: New Project --> Sample --> Mobile --> Native Application --> AppFw --> Taskmanager
