Hi,
Run "xterm -e emacs -nw" and then press "Ctrl + Z". Is there way to put emacs back to foreground?

Depends on your shell.
man $(basename $SHELL)
search for job control commands.

Have you tried fg? Being foreground? It depends on the shell ...
BTW: why do you press C-z? GNU Emacs has a much more comfortable shell

[Please disregard the BS in the earlier answers to your post (there is
no shell in the picture).]
I do not think you have a chance; this is a serious bug in the design
of TTYs (it should have been the shell who enables SUSP tty setting,
not the creator of TTY). I think I saw something in XTerm changelog
http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html
to address this shortcoming. You may also try disabling tty's SUSP
setting from inside emacs in this situation:
xterm -e env NO_SHELL=yes emacs -nw
and check for NO_SHELL in your .emacs (do not know how to do analogue
of stty from within emacs; of couse, you can call stty directly).
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Actually, on my machine, C-z doesn't suspend Emacs when started with
xterm -e emacs -nw.
> I do not think you have a chance;
I think "kill -CONT pid-of-emacs" should do it.

It happens for me now and then that I press Ctrl + Z when I want Ctrl + X...
That's annoying because I was editing some document and was stopped by C + z.

put this in your ~/.emacs
(global-set-key (kbd "C-z") (lambda nil (interactive) (beep)))
