Is it possible to check whether a user is typing or not using background service of third party application?
I am making an android application that can make alert when a user starts typing in android phone. My service would be running in background and from that service i want to sense that user is typing in any other application.

It is not possible to know if the user is typing, in the "WhatsApp sense". But maybe you could check if the soft keyboard is open, which is a very good sign that the person is typing.
Take a look at this question about knowing whether the keyboard is open, it's a good starting point.
