You can check that from Windows low-level APIs, or the C# package that you can install from NuGet WindowsAPICodePack, and then you can check for the registry settings to determine what is going on.

As suggested by the answer below, values of 1, 3, 5 are considered bitlocker in action, otherwise not.
