One possible approach:
<http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2006/7/9/167174>
(I've already posted my code for doing this, so check the archives.) Since
you will be notified every time a different app comes to the front, you can
just keep track - when your app comes to the front, the one you *previously*
recorded as being in front is the one you're after. (It may, of course, have
now terminated.)
