23 /**
24  * Base class for a service that device owner/profile owners can optionally have.
25  *
26  * <p>The system searches for it with an intent filter with the
27  * {@link DevicePolicyManager#ACTION_DEVICE_ADMIN_SERVICE} action, and tries to keep a bound
28  * connection as long as the hosting user is running, so that the device/profile owner is always
29  * considered to be in the foreground.  This is useful to receive implicit broadcasts that
30  * can no longer be received by manifest receivers by apps targeting Android version
31  * {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O}.  Device/profile owners can use a runtime-registered
32  * broadcast receiver instead, and have a {@link DeviceAdminService} so that the process is always
33  * running.
34  *
35  * <p>Device/profile owners can use
36  * {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName, int, int)}
37  * to disable/enable its own service.  For example, when a device/profile owner no longer needs
38  * to be in the foreground, it can (and should) disable its service.
39  *
40  * <p>The service must be protected with the permission
41  * {@link android.Manifest.permission#BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN}.  Otherwise the system would ignore it.
42  *
43  * <p>When the owner process crashes, the service will be re-bound automatically after a
44  * back-off.
45  *
46  * <p>Note the process may still be killed if the system is under heavy memory pressure, in which
47  * case the process will be re-started later.
