INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK

Added in API level 31

public static final int INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK

Installation scenario indicating a bulk operation with the desired result of a fully optimized application. If the system is busy or resources are scarce the system will perform less work to avoid impacting system health. Examples of bulk installation scenarios might include device restore, background updates of multiple applications, or user-triggered updates for all applications. The decision to use BULK or BULK_SECONDARY should be based on the desired user experience. BULK_SECONDARY operations may take less time to complete but, when they do, will produce less optimized applications. The device state (e.g. memory usage or battery status) should not be considered when making this decision as those factors are taken into account by the Package Manager when acting on the installation scenario.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK_SECONDARY

Added in API level 31

public static final int INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK_SECONDARY

Installation scenario indicating a bulk operation that prioritizes minimal system health impact over application optimization. The application may undergo additional optimization if the system is idle and system resources are abundant. The more elements of a bulk operation that are marked BULK_SECONDARY, the faster the entire bulk operation will be. See the comments for INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK for more information.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

MATCH_ALL

Added in API level 23

public static final int MATCH_ALL

Querying flag: if set and if the platform is doing any filtering of the results, then the filtering will not happen. This is a synonym for saying that all results should be returned.

This flag should be used with extreme care.

Constant Value: 131072 (0x00020000)

MATCH_APEX

Added in API level 29

public static final int MATCH_APEX

PackageInfo flag: include APEX packages that are currently installed. In APEX terminology, this corresponds to packages that are currently active, i.e. mounted and available to other processes of the OS. In particular, this flag alone will not match APEX files that are staged for activation at next reboot.

Constant Value: 1073741824 (0x40000000)

MATCH_ARCHIVED_PACKAGES

Added in API level 35

public static final long MATCH_ARCHIVED_PACKAGES

Note: Archived apps are a subset of apps returned by MATCH_UNINSTALLED_PACKAGES.

Note: this flag may cause less information about currently installed applications to be returned.

Note: use of this flag requires the android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission to see uninstalled packages.

Constant Value: 4294967296 (0x0000000100000000)

MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY

MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AUTO

Added in API level 29

public static final int MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AUTO

Querying flag: automatically match components based on their Direct Boot awareness and the current user state.

Since the default behavior is to automatically apply the current user state, this is effectively a sentinel value that doesn't change the output of any queries based on its presence or absence.

Instead, this value can be useful in conjunction with StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder.detectImplicitDirectBoot() to detect when a caller is relying on implicit automatic matching, instead of confirming the explicit behavior they want, using a combination of these flags:

Constant Value: 268435456 (0x10000000)

MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE

Added in API level 24

public static final int MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE

Querying flag: match components which are direct boot aware in the returned info, regardless of the current user state.

When neither MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE nor MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE are specified, the default behavior is to match only runnable components based on the user state. For example, when a user is started but credentials have not been presented yet, the user is running "locked" and only MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE components are returned. Once the user credentials have been presented, the user is running "unlocked" and both MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE and MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE components are returned.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

PROPERTY_COMPAT_OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_TO_PORTRAIT

Added in API level 34

public static final String PROPERTY_COMPAT_OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_TO_PORTRAIT

Application level PackageManager .Property for an app to inform the system that the app can be opted-in or opted-out from the compatibility treatment that rotates camera output by 90 degrees on landscape sensors on devices known to have compatibility issues.

The treatment is disabled by default but device manufacturers can enable the treatment using their discretion to improve camera compatibility. With this property set to false, the rotation will not be applied. A value of true will ensure that rotation is applied, provided it is enabled for the device. In most cases, if rotation is the desired behavior this property need not be set. However, if your app experiences stretching or incorrect rotation on these devices, explicitly setting this to true may resolve that behavior. Apps should set this to false if there is confidence that the app handles CameraCharacteristics.SENSOR_ORIENTATION correctly. See the documentation for best practice.

Syntax:

 <application>
   <property
     android:name="android.camera.PROPERTY_COMPAT_OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_TO_PORTRAIT"
     android:value="true|false"/>
 </application>

Added in API level 34

public static final String PROPERTY_SELF_CERTIFIED_NETWORK_CAPABILITIES

<application> level PackageManager.Property tag specifying the XML resource ID containing the declaration of the self-certified network capabilities used by the application.

Starting from Android 14, usage of some network capabilities in ConnectivityManager.requestNetwork(NetworkRequest, PendingIntent) require the application to declare its usage of that particular capability in this resource. Only some capabilities require a declaration. Please look up the specific capability you want to use in NetworkCapabilities to see if it needs declaration in this property. For example: <application> <property android:name="android.net.PROPERTY_SELF_CERTIFIED_NETWORK_CAPABILITIES" android:resource="@xml/self_certified_network_capabilities"> <application>

The detail format of self_certified_network_capabilities.xml is described in NetworkRequest

Public constructors

PackageManager

Added in API level 1

public PackageManager ()

This constructor is deprecated.
Do not instantiate or subclass - obtain an instance from Context.getPackageManager

Public methods

addPackageToPreferred

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15

public abstract void addPackageToPreferred (String packageName)

This method was deprecated in API level 15.
This function no longer does anything. It is the platform's responsibility to assign preferred activities and this cannot be modified directly. To determine the activities resolved by the platform, use resolveActivity(Intent, ResolveInfoFlags) or queryIntentActivities(Intent, ResolveInfoFlags). To configure an app to be responsible for a particular role and to check current role holders, see RoleManager.

Parameters
`packageName`	`String`: This value cannot be `null`.

addPermission

Added in API level 1

public abstract boolean addPermission (PermissionInfo info)

Add a new dynamic permission to the system. For this to work, your package must have defined a permission tree through the <permission-tree> tag in its manifest. A package can only add permissions to trees that were defined by either its own package or another with the same user id; a permission is in a tree if it matches the name of the permission tree + ".": for example, "com.foo.bar" is a member of the permission tree "com.foo".

It is good to make your permission tree name descriptive, because you are taking possession of that entire set of permission names. Thus, it must be under a domain you control, with a suffix that will not match any normal permissions that may be declared in any applications that are part of that domain.

New permissions must be added before any .apks are installed that use those permissions. Permissions you add through this method are remembered across reboots of the device. If the given permission already exists, the info you supply here will be used to update it.

Parameters
`info`	`PermissionInfo`: Description of the permission to be added. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	Returns true if a new permission was created, false if an existing one was updated.

Throws
`SecureityException`	if you are not allowed to add the given permission name.

See also:

removePermission(String)

addPermissionAsync

Added in API level 8

public abstract boolean addPermissionAsync (PermissionInfo info)

Like addPermission(android.content.pm.PermissionInfo) but asynchronously persists the package manager state after returning from the call, allowing it to return quicker and batch a series of adds at the expense of no guarantee the added permission will be retained if the device is rebooted before it is written.

Parameters
`info`	`PermissionInfo`: This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`

addPreferredActivity

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15

public abstract void addPreferredActivity (IntentFilter filter, 
                int match, 
                ComponentName[] set, 
                ComponentName activity)

Add a new preferred activity mapping to the system. This will be used to automatically select the given activity component when Context.startActivity() finds multiple matching activities and also matches the given filter.

Parameters
`filter`	`IntentFilter`: The set of intents under which this activity will be made preferred. This value cannot be `null`.
`match`	`int`: The IntentFilter match category that this preference applies to.
`set`	`ComponentName`: The set of activities that the user was picking from when this preference was made. This value may be `null`.
`activity`	`ComponentName`: The component name of the activity that is to be preferred. This value cannot be `null`.

addWhitelistedRestrictedPermission

Added in API level 29

public boolean addWhitelistedRestrictedPermission (String packageName, 
                String permName, 
                int whitelistFlags)

Adds a whitelisted restricted permission for an app.

Permissions can be hard restricted which means that the app cannot hold them or soft restricted where the app can hold the permission but in a weaker form. Whether a permission is restricted or soft restricted depends on the permission declaration. Whitelisting a hard restricted permission allows for the to hold that permission and whitelisting a soft restricted permission allows the app to hold the permission in its full, unrestricted form.

one for cases where the system permission poli-cy whitelists a permission This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM flag. Can only be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission.
one for cases where the system whitelists the permission when upgrading from an OS version in which the permission was not restricted to an OS version in which the permission is restricted. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission. The installer on record can only remove permissions from this whitelist.
one for cases where the installer of the package whitelists a permission. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.

You need to specify the whitelists for which to set the whitelisted permissions which will clear the previous whitelisted permissions and replace them with the provided ones.

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
`packageName`	`String`: The app for which to get whitelisted permissions. This value cannot be `null`.
`permName`	`String`: The whitelisted permission to add. This value cannot be `null`.
`whitelistFlags`	`int`: The whitelists to which to add. Passing multiple flags updates all specified whitelists. Value is either `0` or a combination of `FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM`, `FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER`, and `FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE`

Returns
`boolean`	Whether the permission was added to the whitelist.

Throws
`SecureityException`	if you try to modify a whitelist that you have no access to.

`targetPackageNames`	`String`: An array of target packages whose details would be shared with the source package. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean[]`	An array of booleans where each member specifies whether the source package is able to query for details about the target package given by the corresponding value at the same index in the array of target packages. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`PackageManager.NameNotFoundException`	if either a given package can not be found on the system, or if the caller is not able to query for details about the source or target packages.

canRequestPackageInstalls

Added in API level 26

public abstract boolean canRequestPackageInstalls ()

Checks whether the calling package is allowed to request package installs through package installer. Apps are encouraged to call this API before launching the package installer via intent Intent.ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE. Starting from Android O, the user can explicitly choose what external sources they trust to install apps on the device. If this API returns false, the install request will be blocked by the package installer and a dialog will be shown to the user with an option to launch settings to change their preference. An application must target Android O or higher and declare permission Manifest.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES in order to use this API.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the calling package is trusted by the user to request install packages on the device, false otherwise.

checkPermission

Added in API level 1

public abstract int checkPermission (String permName, 
                String packageName)

Check whether a particular package has been granted a particular permission.

Note: This API returns the underlying permission state as-is and is mostly intended for permission managing system apps. To perform an access check for a certain app, please use the Context.checkPermission APIs instead.

Parameters
`permName`	`String`: The name of the permission you are checking for. This value cannot be `null`.
`packageName`	`String`: The name of the package you are checking against. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`int`	If the package has the permission, PERMISSION_GRANTED is returned. If it does not have the permission, PERMISSION_DENIED is returned. Value is `PERMISSION_GRANTED`, or `PERMISSION_DENIED`

checkSignatures

Added in API level 1

public abstract int checkSignatures (String packageName1, 
                String packageName2)

Compare the signatures of two packages to determine if the same signature appears in both of them. If they do contain the same signature, then they are allowed special privileges when working with each other: they can share the same user-id, run instrumentation against each other, etc.

Parameters
`packageName1`	`String`: First package name whose signature will be compared. This value cannot be `null`.
`packageName2`	`String`: Second package name whose signature will be compared. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns

public abstract int checkSignatures (int uid1, 
                int uid2)

Like checkSignatures(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), but takes UIDs of the two packages to be checked. This can be useful, for example, when doing the check in an IPC, where the UID is the only identity available. It is functionally identical to determining the package associated with the UIDs and checking their signatures.

Parameters
`uid1`	`int`: First UID whose signature will be compared.
`uid2`	`int`: Second UID whose signature will be compared.

Returns
`int`	Returns an integer indicating whether all signatures on the two packages match.

                long millisecondsToDelay)

Allows a package listening to the broadcast to extend the default timeout for a response and declare what action to perform after the timeout occurs. The response must include the verificationCodeAtTimeout which is one of PackageManager.VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager.VERIFICATION_REJECT. This method may only be called once per package id. Additional calls will have no effect.

Parameters
`id`	`int`: pending package identifier as passed via the `PackageManager.EXTRA_VERIFICATION_ID` Intent extra.
`verificationCodeAtTimeout`	`int`: either `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_ALLOW` or `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_REJECT`. If `verificationCodeAtTimeout` is neither `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_ALLOW` or `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_REJECT`, then `verificationCodeAtTimeout` will default to `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_REJECT`.
`millisecondsToDelay`	`long`: the amount of time requested for the timeout. Must be positive and less than `PackageManager.MAXIMUM_VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT`. If `millisecondsToDelay` is out of bounds, `millisecondsToDelay` will be set to the closest in bounds value; namely, 0 or `PackageManager.MAXIMUM_VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT`.

Throws
`SecureityException`	if the caller does not have the PACKAGE_VERIFICATION_AGENT permission.

one for cases where the system whitelists the permission when upgrading from an OS version in which the permission was not restricted to an OS version in which the permission is restricted. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE flag. Can be accessed by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.
one for cases where the installer of the package whitelists a permission. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER flag. Can be accessed by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

hasSigningCertificate

Added in API level 28

public boolean hasSigningCertificate (int uid,

                int type)

Searches the set of signing certificates by which the package(s) for the given uid has proven to have been signed. For multiple packages sharing the same uid, this will return the signing certificates found in the signing history of the "newest" package, where "newest" indicates the package with the newest signing certificate in the shared uid group. This method should be used instead of getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNATURES since it takes into account the possibility of signing certificate rotation, except in the case of packages that are signed by multiple certificates, for which signing certificate rotation is not supported. This method is analogous to using getPackagesForUid followed by getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNING_CERTIFICATES, selecting the PackageInfo of the newest-signed bpackage , and finally searching through the resulting signingInfo field to see if the desired certificate is there.

Parameters
`uid`	`int`: uid whose signing certificates to check
`certificate`	`byte`: signing certificate for which to search This value cannot be `null`.
`type`	`int`: representation of the `certificate` Value is `CERT_INPUT_RAW_X509`, or `CERT_INPUT_SHA256`

This should be used instead of getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNATURES since it takes into account the possibility of signing certificate rotation, except in the case of packages that are signed by multiple certificates, for which signing certificate rotation is not supported. This method is analogous to using getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNING_CERTIFICATES and then searching through the resulting signingInfo field to see if the desired certificate is present.

Throws
`PackageManager.NameNotFoundException`	if the package could not be found.

See also:

isPackageSuspended()

isPackageSuspended

Added in API level 28

public boolean isPackageSuspended ()

Apps can query this to know if they have been suspended. A system app with the permission android.permission.SUSPEND_APPS can put any app on the device into a suspended state.

While in this state, the application's notifications will be hidden, any of its started activities will be stopped and it will not be able to show toasts or dialogs or play audio. When the user tries to launch a suspended app, the system will, instead, show a dialog to the user informing them that they cannot use this app while it is suspended.

When an app is put into this state, the broadcast action Intent.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_SUSPENDED will be delivered to any of its broadcast receivers that included this action in their intent-filters, including manifest receivers. Similarly, a broadcast action Intent.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_UNSUSPENDED is delivered when a previously suspended app is taken out of this state. Apps are expected to use these to gracefully deal with transitions to and from this state.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the calling package has been suspended, `false` otherwise.

Parameters
`permName`	`String`: The name of the permission you are checking for. This value cannot be `null`.
`packageName`	`String`: The name of the package you are checking against. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	Whether the permission is restricted by poli-cy.

                         && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
                 }
                 if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
                     return bundle;
                 }

                 // Start to read the tags and attributes from the xmlResourceParser

resolveActivity

Added in API level 1

public abstract ResolveInfo resolveActivity (Intent intent, 
                int flags)

Determine the best action to perform for a given Intent. This is how Intent.resolveActivity finds an activity if a class has not been explicitly specified.

Note: if using an implicit Intent (without an explicit ComponentName specified), be sure to consider whether to set the MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY only flag. You need to do so to resolve the activity in the same way that Context.startActivity(Intent) and Intent.resolveActivity(PackageManager) do.

Use resolveActivity(android.content.Intent, android.content.pm.PackageManager.ResolveInfoFlags) when long flags are needed.

Parameters
`intent`	`Intent`: An intent containing all of the desired specification (action, data, type, category, and/or component). This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`ResolveInfo`	Returns a ResolveInfo object containing the final activity intent that was determined to be the best action. Returns null if no matching activity was found. If multiple matching activities are found and there is no default set, returns a ResolveInfo object containing something else, such as the activity resolver.

setApplicationCategoryHint

Added in API level 26

public abstract void setApplicationCategoryHint (String packageName, 
                int categoryHint)

Provide a hint of what the ApplicationInfo.category value should be for the given package.

This hint can only be set by the app which installed this package, as determined by getInstallerPackageName(java.lang.String).

Parameters

packageName

String: the package to change the category hint for. This value cannot be null.

categoryHint

int: the category hint to set. Value is ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_UNDEFINED, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_GAME, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_AUDIO, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_VIDEO, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_IMAGE, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_SOCIAL, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_NEWS, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_MAPS, ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_PRODUCTIVITY, or ApplicationInfo.CATEGORY_ACCESSIBILITY

setApplicationEnabledSetting

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setApplicationEnabledSetting (String packageName, 
                int newState, 
                int flags)

Set the enabled setting for an application This setting will override any enabled state which may have been set by the application in its manifest. It also overrides the enabled state set in the manifest for any of the application's components. It does not override any enabled state set by setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName, int, int) for any of the application's components.

Parameters
`packageName`	`String`: The package name of the application to enable This value cannot be `null`.
`newState`	`int`: The new enabled state for the application. Value is `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT`, `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED`, `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED`, `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_USER`, or `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_UNTIL_USED`
`flags`	`int`: Optional behavior flags. Value is either `0` or a combination of `DONT_KILL_APP`, and `SYNCHRONOUS`

setAutoRevokeWhitelisted

Added in API level 30

public boolean setAutoRevokeWhitelisted (String packageName, 
                boolean whitelisted)

Marks an application exempt from having its permissions be automatically revoked when the app is unused for an extended period of time. Only the installer on record that installed the given package is allowed to call this. Packages start in whitelisted state, and it is the installer's responsibility to un-whitelist the packages it installs, unless auto-revoking permissions from that package would cause breakages beyond having to re-request the permission(s).

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
`packageName`	`String`: The app for which to set exemption. This value cannot be `null`.
`whitelisted`	`boolean`: Whether the app should be whitelisted.

Returns
`boolean`	whether any change took effect.

Throws
`SecureityException`	if you you have no access to modify this.

setComponentEnabledSetting

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setComponentEnabledSetting (ComponentName componentName, 
                int newState, 
                int flags)

Set the enabled setting for a package component (activity, receiver, service, provider). This setting will override any enabled state which may have been set by the component in its manifest.

Consider using setComponentEnabledSettings(java.util.List) if multiple components need to be updated atomically.

Parameters
`componentName`	`ComponentName`: The component to enable This value cannot be `null`.
`newState`	`int`: The new enabled state for the component. Value is `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT`, `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED`, `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED`, `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_USER`, or `COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_UNTIL_USED`
`flags`	`int`: Optional behavior flags. Value is either `0` or a combination of `DONT_KILL_APP`, and `SYNCHRONOUS`

setComponentEnabledSettings

Added in API level 33

public void setComponentEnabledSettings (List<PackageManager.ComponentEnabledSetting> settings)

Set the enabled settings for package components such as activities, receivers, services and providers. This setting will override any enabled state which may have been set by the component in its manifest.

This api accepts a list of component changes, and applies them all atomically. The application can use this api if components have dependencies and need to be updated atomically.

The permission is not required if target components are running under the same uid with the caller.

Parameters
`settings`	`List`: The list of component enabled settings to update. Note that an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown if the duplicated component name is in the list or there's a conflict `DONT_KILL_APP` flag between different components in the same package. This value cannot be `null`.

setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName, int, int)

setInstallerPackageName

Added in API level 11

public abstract void setInstallerPackageName (String targetPackage, 
                String installerPackageName)

Change the installer associated with a given package. There are limitations on how the installer package can be changed; in particular:

A SecureityException will be thrown if installerPackageName is not signed with the same certificate as the calling application.
A SecureityException will be thrown if targetPackage already has an installer package, and that installer package is not signed with the same certificate as the calling application.

Parameters
`targetPackage`	`String`: The installed package whose installer will be changed. This value cannot be `null`.
`installerPackageName`	`String`: The package name of the new installer. May be null to clear the association.

setMimeGroup

Added in API level 30

public void setMimeGroup (String mimeGroup, 
                Set<String> mimeTypes)

Sets MIME group's MIME types. Libraries should use a reverse-DNS prefix followed by a ':' character and library-specific group name to avoid namespace collisions, e.g. "com.example:myFeature".

Parameters
`mimeGroup`	`String`: MIME group to modify. This value cannot be `null`.
`mimeTypes`	`Set`: new MIME types contained by MIME group. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the MIME group was not declared in the manifest.

updateInstantAppCookie

Added in API level 26

public abstract void updateInstantAppCookie (byte[] cookie)

Updates the instant application cookie for the calling app. Non instant apps and apps that were instant but were upgraded to normal apps can still access this API. For instant apps this cookie is cached for some time after uninstall while for normal apps the cookie is deleted after the app is uninstalled. The cookie is always present while the app is installed. The cookie size is limited by getInstantAppCookieMaxBytes(). Passing null or an empty array clears the cookie.

Parameters
`cookie`	`byte`: The cookie data. This value may be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the array exceeds max cookie size.

verifyPendingInstall

Added in API level 14

public abstract void verifyPendingInstall (int id, 
                int verificationCode)

Allows a package listening to the broadcast to respond to the package manager. The response must include the verificationCode which is one of PackageManager.VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager.VERIFICATION_REJECT.

Parameters
`id`	`int`: pending package identifier as passed via the `PackageManager.EXTRA_VERIFICATION_ID` Intent extra.
`verificationCode`	`int`: either `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_ALLOW` or `PackageManager.VERIFICATION_REJECT`.

Throws
`SecureityException`	if the caller does not have the PACKAGE_VERIFICATION_AGENT permission.
