Is there a notification on iOS if a UIAlertView is shown?

Question

Wondering if there is a notification available if a UIAlertView pops up? Background: my app asks the user for a PIN after a period of inactivity but I would like to prevent it if an alert is on screen. I don't want to go through my code and find all alerts and disable the PIN checker, instead a notification would be awesome. Any hope with NSNotification?

Just found the answer. It is hidden in here:

Can I get message when I show UIAlertView

If you listen to the "UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification" notification, it will also fire for your own alerts, not only for system alerts. For your own alerts, the application does not resign activiation however.
