Is there a way if an app is playing music?

[clonfsp]

Hello,

I use Poweramp to listen to music. It is quite popular and a good piece of software. Do you know if is there any way to know if the app is running and playing music? I want to bring it to front when I turn on screen and unlock the phone. It is a fast way to enter commands.

thanks.

This plugins could maybe help you:

But is also possible with a simple "Run shell" action. To check if Sixaxis irunning, i run this command:
ps | grep sixaxis_driver

If the result variable equals 1, it is not running.

If you don't use any other music players, the %MTRACK variable will be set (with the current track name) when music is playing and cleared/empty when no music is playing.
