Does the activity manager provides a callback in android, every time an android application (not activity) is started and destroyed ?

I want to develop an Android Application which finds, when an Android Application installed in the device, is opened and when the same is closed.
I couldn't find anything substantial in Developers website.

What I have tried:

An activity has lifecycle methods through which we know when an activity is created and when it is destroyed but I want to know is there any support to know when an application is started and stopped.
I mean an application could have more than one activity so activity lifecycle methods won't come in handy to determine the solution.
