Solution

  • I would put data loges onResume and onPause methods. and on every onPause Append usage time to SharedPrefrences or some database and on requirements on create or when internet is turned on i would send usage statistics.

    In this manner you can track every activities usage.

    Not sure if some of the box methods exists.
