I am trying to develop a new fieldtype and would like to display different markup depending on whether the field was requested by the user or in the backend.

Is there a reliable way to detect in the display_field() function whether it was requested via the {exp:safecracker} {custom_fields} loop.

You could check for the presence of the Safecracker library:

if (isset(ee()->safecracker))

Or check if you're in the control panel

if (REQ === 'CP')

    That's what I do too. Use if(isset($this->EE->safecracker)) for versions prior to EE 2.6 though. ;)
