Identify status of a program with java

Question

Is there any way to identify the status of a program in Windows by searching through the process opened with java?

I am looking for a way to map a specific process of an executable to know if it is focused on the screen or minimized, thus stopping the process of a macro, pausing the execution of the Robot class when minimized the executable like the windows calculator for example.

You can try it:

try {
    String line;
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec
          (System.getenv("windir") +"\\system32\\"+"calc.exe");
    BufferedReader input =
            new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
    while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line); //<-- Parse data here.
    }
    input.close();
} catch (Exception err) {
    err.printStackTrace();
}
