OK, checking only for PageStatus is not enough. Here's what I had to do:

Application Page Status (Main Focus)

If you are on a page of the application (meaning the main focus is on the application), you have to check for the Qt.Application.Active status.

Page {
    property bool pageActive: Qt.application.active
}

In addition you can check for the page status.

Page {
    property bool pageActive: Qt.application.active && status === PageStatus.Active
}

It wont work without the Qt.Application.Active status though.

Cover Page Status (Background Process)

If you minimize your app and only the cover is displayed, you have to check for the Cover status.

CoverBackground {
    property bool coverActive: status === Cover.Active
}

Using the Qt.application.state was not very helpful at all, it always says undefined.
