You can't "know" that, at best you can approximate knowing that the way
pidgin and/or the Message Notification plugin does (i.e. by watching for
GTK+ focus events on the window/tab/etc.).

You may just want to make your notification part of the Message
Notification plugin since that should simplify the amount of code you need
to write.
