I'm developing a chat app that use XMPPFramework and Openfire Server. Is there any way to detect if a message is read or unread? I'm heard about XEP-0184, but it's only the message delivery (received or not).

No, it's impossible: "read" a message means that an human it's reading a line, basically only an human can confirm that. Whatsapp double checks are gray when recived by server and blue when the message it's recived on destination device.

Oh, it is "Seen", like facebook or Skype, I want to check if user saw it (or it's displayed on screen)

You need a custom XMPP extension to support this.

Of course I agree with @MickaëlRémond: custom XMPP extension that notify when it's displayed on screen and this depends on implementation

How I achieved this by sending a special message when user opens the Unread chat.
And when the user receives that special message, it will get to know that the message has been read by other user.
Special Message should be unique: so that you can put a check on if it is received then it means message has been read.
