You can detect that your app is in the background using

<application>.isForeground()

Remember that the Application deactivate() method is called when the app goes to background, activate() is called when coming to foreground.  You might be able to use these.

One thing I would also consider is onObscured() and onExposed().  onObscured to switch it off, onExposed to refresh the screen.  The only problem is these are called in other circumstances, not just swap to background.
