Set a Broadcast Receiver for permission used by other app

I have 2 applications. App1 and App2. Suppose the App1 has a permission tag in its manifest file like this:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

I want to initiate a broadcast receiver in App2, whenever App1 uses this permission i.e. whenever App1 accesses camera. Note that App1 does not broadcast this event using sendBroadcast() method. Is this possible to set a Broadcast Receiver based on permission used by other applications?

Solution

  • Is this possible to set a Broadcast Receiver based on permission used by other applications?

    No. Apps are not informed, by any means, when another app happens to do something that involves some permission.
