I think a switch that triggers on throttle-off is the best way to do it, that way you don't need to detect if the injectors are off, just screw a 1 dollar switch near the gas pedal and it's good to go. Foot off the throttle = either DFCO, slowing down in gear at low speed, or idle, which are all good times to charge.
