 Another solution I use is to emulate ZSH's behavior, which places a
'%' in reverse video if the previous command ended in a newline,

# Can return $ps1 by printing our using this function in
# PROMPT_COMMAND, or some other means.
_zsh_prompt_nl()
{
  local line_pos col_pos
  IFS=';[' read -s -t1 -d'R' -p $'\033[6n' _ line_pos col_pos

  if (( col_pos != 1 )); then
    (( LINES != line_pos ))
    ps1="${reset/\[0/[7}%${reset}\n${ps1}\n"
  else
    ps1="${ps1}\n"
  fi
}

Updating LINES and COLUMN non-interactively can be difficult,
so obtaining these values manually may be required:

IFS='[;'                                                    \
  read -rsu2 -d'R' -p $'\033[s\033[9999;9999H\033[6n\033[u' \
  _ LINES COLUMNS
