I think you may be SOL with that? Hardware wise there is no way I can tell if it's receiving or not. If I could pull the phone apart and had a schematic for it I could probably tell you but but I don't think that's going to happen

Like you said there may be some way to do it in software but I'm a hardware guy so that's out of my league.

Edit: Wonder if some one could write a routine (or already have one) that would poll for signal strength? The signal strength meter goes away from the home screen when in flight mode but the receiver still may be active in the background?

Just a Thought.
