   I think I had the same problem. Initialized the application like stated in the window_manager docs, but the application does not stay in focus when applying windowManager.focus(). I created a window listener and overrided onWindowBlur():

   @override
     void onWindowBlur() {
       setState(() async {
         await windowManager.hide();
         await windowManager.focus();
       });
     }

   In combination with hide and focus the application stays in focus/foreground. This solution doesn't seem very professional, but at least fixed the issue for me.

   window_manager 0.5.x is no longer maintained: from 0.6.0 window_manager is rebuilt on nativeapi (Flutter package: nativeapi), and its platform code moves there.

   nativeapi doesn't handle this yet either, so it's now tracked in libnativeapi/nativeapi#69. Please follow it and add details there; once it's fixed there, it reaches window_manager through nativeapi.
