Indicates whether or not an Activity, not in the foreground, exists in our app within the
"Visible Lifetime" state.
The "Visible Lifetime" is defined as an activity where the onStart() method has been called
but where the onStop() method has not been called.
During this time, the Activity may be visible to the user, and it may be receiving input
from the user. This time is a superset of the "Foreground lifetime" of the activity.
It may be the case that an application has activities in the "visible lifetime" but none in
the "Foreground lifetime." It may be the case that without user input an activity will shortly
transition into the "Foreground lifetime" in this state, however it also may not transition
without further user interaction.
Parameters
monitor
ActivityLifecycleMonitor: the ActivityLifecycleMonitor to use
Returns
boolean
true if any activity exists with a transitioning stage.
