Check whether an URL is already open or not in Background script

I send message using chrome.runtime.sendMessage({}); from my content.js and it is received by background script which opens a HTML file:

background.js

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
    chrome.tabs.create({url: 'popup.html'});
});

If the popup.html is already open, I don't want to open it again, so there should be a ifcondition to check whether it is already open.

But what do I put in side the if condition before chrome.tabs.create({url: 'popup.html'}); in the background script?

Please note that I am looking the solution inside banckground script.

Please provide the solution according to the scripts given in this answer.
