Assuming you are trying to do this in a rule:

You can query the TaskActivityTable with status = 1000 to indicate it is currently running.

Dim dt As DataTable = Nothing
Dim sequence as String = "Task1" 'The name of the DM sequence
Dim sql As String = "SELECT TaskActivityStatus FROM TaskActivity WHERE Description = '" & sequence & "' AND TaskActivityStatus = 1000"
'Query the table
Using dbConnApp As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateFrameworkDbConnInfo(si)

End Using

'if the following check passes then there is a process currently running
If dt IsNot Nothing AndAlso dt.Rows.Count < 1
  'Do something
End If
