Condition - App Process Running

The condition App Process Running checks whether the process hosting an app is currently running.

Note: Android keeps processes in memory even when the process might not be required anymore and enough free memory is available.

Note: The official API used to access this information has been removed by Google on Android 5.1.1 which means that the condition is now marked as not officially supported.
Note: The unofficial workarounds to access this information don't work anymore on most devices running Android 7.
