/**
 * An accessibility service runs in the background and receives callbacks by the system
 * when {@link AccessibilityEvent}s are fired. Such events denote some state transition
 * in the user interface, for example, the focus has changed, a button has been clicked,
 * etc. Such a service can optionally request the capability for querying the content
 * of the active window. Development of an accessibility service requires extending this
 * class and implementing its abstract methods.
 * <h3>Lifecycle</h3>
 * <p>
 * The lifecycle of an accessibility service is managed exclusively by the system and
 * follows the established service life cycle. Additionally, starting or stopping an
 * accessibility service is triggered exclusively by an explicit user action through
 * enabling or disabling it in the device settings. After the system binds to a service it
 * calls {@link AccessibilityService#onServiceConnected()}. This method can be
 * overriden by clients that want to perform post binding setup.
 * </p>
 * <h3>Declaration</h3>
 * <p>
 * An accessibility is declared as any other service in an AndroidManifest.xml but it
 * must also specify that it handles the "android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService"
 * {@link android.content.Intent}. Failure to declare this intent will cause the system to
 * ignore the accessibility service. Following is an example declaration:
 * </p>
 * <pre> &lt;service android:name=".MyAccessibilityService"&gt;
 *     &lt;intent-filter&gt;
 *         &lt;action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" /&gt;
 *     &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
 *     . . .
 * &lt;/service&gt;</pre>
 * <h3>Configuration</h3>
 * <p>
 * An accessibility service can be configured to receive specific types of accessibility events,
 * listen only to specific packages, get events from each type only once in a given time frame,
 * retrieve window content, specify a settings activity, etc.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are two approaches for configuring an accessibility service:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Providing a {@link #SERVICE_META_DATA meta-data} entry in the manifest when declaring
 * the service. A service declaration with a meta-data tag is presented below:
 * <pre> &lt;service android:name=".MyAccessibilityService"&gt;
 *     &lt;intent-filter&gt;
 *         &lt;action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" /&gt;
 *     &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
 *     &lt;meta-data android:name="android.accessibilityservice" android:resource="@xml/accessibilityservice" /&gt;
 * &lt;/service&gt;</pre>
 * <p class="note">
 * <strong>Note:</strong> This approach enables setting all properties.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For more details refer to {@link #SERVICE_META_DATA} and
 * <code>&lt;{@link android.R.styleable#AccessibilityService accessibility-service}&gt;</code>.
 * </p>
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Calling {@link AccessibilityService#setServiceInfo(AccessibilityServiceInfo)}. Note
 * that this method can be called any time to dynamically change the service configuration.
 * <p class="note">
 * <strong>Note:</strong> This approach enables setting only dynamically configurable properties:
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#eventTypes},
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#feedbackType},
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#flags},
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#notificationTimeout},
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#packageNames}
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For more details refer to {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo}.
 * </p>
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <h3>Retrieving window content</h3>
 * <p>
 * An service can specify in its declaration that it can retrieve the active window
 * content which is represented as a tree of {@link AccessibilityNodeInfo}. Note that
 * declaring this capability requires that the service declares its configuration via
 * an XML resource referenced by {@link #SERVICE_META_DATA}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For security purposes an accessibility service can retrieve only the content of the
 * currently active window. The currently active window is defined as the window from
 * which was fired the last event of the following types:
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED},
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_ENTER},
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_EXIT},
 * In other words, the last window that was shown or the last window that the user has touched
 * during touch exploration.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The entry point for retrieving window content is through calling
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#getSource() AccessibilityEvent.getSource()} of the last received
 * event of the above types or a previous event from the same window
 * (see {@link AccessibilityEvent#getWindowId() AccessibilityEvent.getWindowId()}). Invoking
 * this method will return an {@link AccessibilityNodeInfo} that can be used to traverse the
 * window content which represented as a tree of such objects.
 * </p>
 * <p class="note">
 * <strong>Note</strong> An accessibility service may have requested to be notified for
 * a subset of the event types, thus be unaware that the active window has changed. Therefore
 * accessibility service that would like to retrieve window content should:
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Register for all event types with no notification timeout and keep track for the active
 * window by calling {@link AccessibilityEvent#getWindowId()} of the last received event and
 * compare this with the {@link AccessibilityNodeInfo#getWindowId()} before calling retrieval
 * methods on the latter.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Prepare that a retrieval method on {@link AccessibilityNodeInfo} may fail since the
 * active window has changed and the service did not get the accessibility event yet. Note
 * that it is possible to have a retrieval method failing even adopting the strategy
 * specified in the previous bullet because the accessibility event dispatch is asynchronous
 * and crosses process boundaries.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <h3>Notification strategy</h3>
 * <p>
 * For each feedback type only one accessibility service is notified. Services are notified
 * in the order of registration. Hence, if two services are registered for the same
 * feedback type in the same package the first one wins. It is possible however, to
 * register a service as the default one for a given feedback type. In such a case this
 * service is invoked if no other service was interested in the event. In other words, default
 * services do not compete with other services and are notified last regardless of the
 * registration order. This enables "generic" accessibility services that work reasonably
 * well with most applications to coexist with "polished" ones that are targeted for
 * specific applications.
 * </p>
 * <p class="note">
 * <strong>Note:</strong> The event notification timeout is useful to avoid propagating
 * events to the client too frequently since this is accomplished via an expensive
 * interprocess call. One can think of the timeout as a criteria to determine when
 * event generation has settled down.</p>
 * <h3>Event types</h3>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_CLICKED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_LONG_CLICKED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_SELECTED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_TOUCH_EXPLORATION_GESTURE_START}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_TOUCH_EXPLORATION_GESTURE_END}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_ENTER}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_EXIT}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_SCROLLED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_SELECTION_CHANGED}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED}
 * </ul>
 * <h3>Feedback types</h3>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_AUDIBLE}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_HAPTIC}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_AUDIBLE}
 * <li>{@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_VISUAL}
