TrustedWebActivityService


public abstract class TrustedWebActivityService extends Service


The TrustedWebActivityService lives in a client app and serves requests from a Trusted Web Activity provider. At present it only serves requests to do with notifications.

When the provider receives a notification from a scope that is associated with a Trusted Web Activity client app, it will attempt to connect to a TrustedWebActivityService and forward calls. This allows the client app to display the notifications itself, meaning it is attributable to the client app and is managed by notification permissions of the client app, not the provider.

TrustedWebActivityService is usable as it is, by adding the following to your AndroidManifest:

<service
    android:name="androidx.browser.trusted.TrustedWebActivityService"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="true">

    <meta-data android:name="android.support.customtabs.trusted.SMALL_ICON"
        android:resource="@drawable/ic_notification_icon" />

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.support.customtabs.trusted.TRUSTED_WEB_ACTIVITY_SERVICE"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    </intent-filter>
</service>
The SMALL_ICON resource should point to a drawable to be used for the notification's small icon.

Alternatively for greater customization, TrustedWebActivityService can be extended and overridden. In this case the manifest entry should be updated to point to the extending class.

As this is an AIDL Service, calls may come in from different Binder threads, so overriding implementations need to be thread safe [1].

For security, the TrustedWebActivityService will check that whatever connects to it matches the Token stored in the TokenStore returned by getTokenStore. This is because we don't want to allow any app on the users device to connect to this Service be able to make it display notifications. [1]: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/aidl.html

Constants

ACTION_TRUSTED_WEB_ACTIVITY_SERVICE

Added in 1.2.0
public static final String ACTION_TRUSTED_WEB_ACTIVITY_SERVICE = "android.support.customtabs.trusted.TRUSTED_WEB_ACTIVITY_SERVICE"

An Intent Action used by the provider to find the TrustedWebActivityService or subclass.

KEY_SMALL_ICON_BITMAP

Added in 1.2.0
public static final String KEY_SMALL_ICON_BITMAP = "android.support.customtabs.trusted.SMALL_ICON_BITMAP"

The key to use to store a Bitmap to return from the onGetSmallIconBitmap method.

KEY_SUCCESS

Added in 1.3.0
public static final String KEY_SUCCESS = "androidx.browser.trusted.SUCCESS"

The key to use to store a boolean in the returns bundle of onExtraCommand method, to indicate whether the command is executed successfully.

META_DATA_NAME_SMALL_ICON

Added in 1.2.0
public static final String META_DATA_NAME_SMALL_ICON = "android.support.customtabs.trusted.SMALL_ICON"

The Android Manifest meta-data name to specify a small icon id to use.

SMALL_ICON_NOT_SET

Added in 1.2.0
public static final int SMALL_ICON_NOT_SET = -1

Used as a return value of onGetSmallIconId when the icon is not provided.

Public constructors

TrustedWebActivityService

Added in 1.2.0
public TrustedWebActivityService()

Public methods

getTokenStore

Added in 1.2.0
@BinderThread
public abstract @NonNull TokenStore getTokenStore()

Returns a TokenStore that is used to determine whether the connecting package is allowed to connect to this service.

Returns
@NonNull TokenStore

An TokenStore containing the verified provider.

onAreNotificationsEnabled

Added in 1.2.0
@BinderThread
public boolean onAreNotificationsEnabled(@NonNull String channelName)

Checks whether notifications are enabled.

Parameters
@NonNull String channelName

The name of the notification channel to be used on Android O+.

Returns
boolean

Whether notifications are enabled.

onBind

Added in 1.2.0
@MainThread
public final @Nullable IBinder onBind(@Nullable Intent intent)

onCancelNotification

Added in 1.2.0
@BinderThread
public void onCancelNotification(@NonNull String platformTag, int platformId)

Cancels a notification.

Parameters
@NonNull String platformTag

The notification tag, see cancel.

int platformId

The notification id, see cancel.

onCreate

@CallSuper
@MainThread
public void onCreate()

Called by the system when the service is first created. Do not call this method directly. Overrides must call super.onCreate().

onExtraCommand

Added in 1.3.0
@BinderThread
public @Nullable Bundle onExtraCommand(
    @NonNull String commandName,
    @NonNull Bundle args,
    @Nullable TrustedWebActivityCallbackRemote callbackRemote
)

Contains a free form command from the browser. The client and browser will need to agree on an additional API to use in advanced. This call can be used for testing or experimental purposes. A return value of null will be used to signify that the client does not know how to handle the request. As optional best practices, KEY_SUCCESS could be use to identify that command was *successfully* handled. For example, when returning a message with result:

    Bundle result = new Bundle();
    result.putString("message", message);
    if (success)
        result.putBoolean(KEY_SUCCESS, true);
    return result;
On the caller side:
    Bundle result = service.extraCommand(commandName, args);
    if (result.getBoolean(service.KEY_SUCCESS)) {
        // Command was successfully handled
    }
Parameters
@NonNull String commandName

Name of the command to execute.

@NonNull Bundle args

Arguments to the command.

@Nullable TrustedWebActivityCallbackRemote callbackRemote

Contains the callback that passed with the command.

Returns
@Nullable Bundle

The result Bundle or null.

onGetSmallIconBitmap

Added in 1.2.0
@BinderThread
public @NonNull Bundle onGetSmallIconBitmap()

Returns a Bundle containing a bitmap to be use as the small icon for any notifications.

Returns
@NonNull Bundle

A Bundle that may contain a Bitmap contained with key KEY_SMALL_ICON_BITMAP. The bundle may be empty if the client app does not provide a small icon.

onGetSmallIconId

Added in 1.2.0
@BinderThread
public int onGetSmallIconId()

Returns the Android resource id of a drawable to be used for the small icon of the notification. This is called by the provider as it is constructing the notification so a complete notification can be passed to the client. Default behaviour looks for meta-data with the name META_DATA_NAME_SMALL_ICON in service section of the manifest.

Returns
int

A resource id for the small icon, or SMALL_ICON_NOT_SET if not found.

onNotifyNotificationWithChannel

Added in 1.2.0
@RequiresPermission(value = Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
@BinderThread
public boolean onNotifyNotificationWithChannel(
    @NonNull String platformTag,
    int platformId,
    @NonNull Notification notification,
    @NonNull String channelName
)

Displays a notification.

Parameters
@NonNull String platformTag

The notification tag, see notify.

int platformId

The notification id, see notify.

@NonNull Notification notification

The notification to be displayed, constructed by the provider.

@NonNull String channelName

The name of the notification channel that the notification should be displayed on. This method gets or creates a channel from the name and modifies the notification to use that channel.

Returns
boolean

Whether the notification was successfully displayed (the channel/app may be blocked by the user).

onUnbind

Added in 1.2.0
@MainThread
public final boolean onUnbind(@Nullable Intent intent)
