As I am typing in word, Viber message pops up and the Viber application opens and I go on typing my documents on the Viber message.
I want an automatic switch to turn the active window off in Ubuntu.
This is causing me troubles on a day to day basis. I have to minimize my Viber window to start working on Microsoft Office (Word) again.

Strange! In GNOME the default behaviour is exact opposite, the window opens in background a notification pops up saying "X is ready". Are you using another desktop environment instead of the 18.04 default GNOME?

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'smart'see if this helps, alternatively search for it indconf-editor -> org -> gnome -> desktop -> wm -> preferences

Hmm... now how to ask a mod to get your bounty back? I've flagged your answer asking a mod to return your bounty. Hopefully that can be done :)

Bounties are non refundable except for extenuating circumstances (i.e. your question being closed as a duplicate). Sorry.
