I am assuming here that you are talking about your Java application. When starting the application, bind it to any port which is not currently in use. That way when you try to create another instance of your application, you would get a socket exception saying that he port is already in use.

Something like:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class SingleApplicationInstance
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try
        {
            ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket();
            ss.bind(new InetSocketAddress(100));
            System.out.println("Application started");
            Thread.sleep(1000000000);
        }
        catch (SocketException e)
        {
            System.out.println("Application already running");
            System.exit(1);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Application encountered some problem.");
            System.exit(1);
        }
    }
}
