Is there any way to check another Java program running status?

Question

HI. I want to write a Java program on hand-set but my program seems needs lots of resources and if there is another Java program running on the same hand-set simultaneously, my program will slow down. So, I want to check if there is another Java program is running on the hand-set, my program will show a message to user reminding user to close another program first.
Is there any way to do so?

On most recent devices, the application is not terminated but paused by using phone functions, and can be reactivated from the aplication management software. The javax.microedition.midlet package documentation is quite specific, if a tad obscure, about the MIDlet lifecycle and the role of the MIDelt methods vis-a-vis the AMS.

Parenthetically, I've never been able to figure out how resumeApp should be used, nor have I seen this method invoked in any of the samples that come with the WTK, but I haven't gone through all of them.
I believe the still-in-progress MIDP3 will make it possible to have MIDlets that share the screen with native apps and which can be minimized and restored.
