I don't think there is. You will probably have to resort to a raw
Xlib call. Refer to the function XSetInputFocus().

Bear in mind that altering the default behavior of your window manager
in this manner may be disconcerting to users who expect focus to
follow the pointer position. I suspect that like pointer grabs and
server grabs, this should take place infrequently and only under well
controlled circumstances.
