An API that informs a game of the current home screen mode

Many of my games present the last frame of the launch card animation as their initial view to transition cleanly from launch into the game.

With the advent of list view, this no longer makes sense as the card animation doesn't run. It would be nice if I could query an API on launch that would tell me if the user is in list mode so that I can skip that bit, or do a custom animation that makes more sense in that scenario.

Yes please!

Also, it could report the exact screen-Y position the app launched from, to REALLY allow the transition to be seamless for obsessive developers (like me).
