How to enable auto start permission programmatically for customized android OS?

Mi, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, LeTV, Asus like smartphone manufacturers are using a customized android OS that looks like and works differently than the stock android OS.

Those manufacturers use lots of security functionality. Like your background service will be stopped after screen lock, the device will go to doze mode, foreground service will not work after a while or if you lock the screen or display turned off. There are many problems are facing by android developers when running their apps on those devices or consumers complain about app services to company support. They call this feature protected apps.

If apps get rid of this problem then users should change their advanced settings but normal users are not aware of it. Then android developers come with some solutions like Ignore Battery Optimization or enable auto start functionality and give permission to display/floating overlay.

Now we will help you out in a simple way call the <meta charset="utf-8">startPowerSaverIntent() method when you want permission to auto start in your app. Just follow the below code and put it on your android project.

public static List<Intent> POWER_MANAGER_INTENTS = Arrays.asList(
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.startupapp.StartupAppListActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.oppo.safe", "com.oppo.safe.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.ui.phoneoptimize.AddWhiteListActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.ui.phoneoptimize.BgStartUpManager")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity")),
        new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.asus.mobilemanager", "com.asus.mobilemanager.entry.FunctionActivity")).setData(android.net.Uri.parse("mobilemanager://function/entry/AutoStart"))
);


    public static void startPowerSaverIntent(Context context) {
        SharedPreferences settings = context.getSharedPreferences("ProtectedApps", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        boolean skipMessage = settings.getBoolean("skipProtectedAppCheck", false);
        if (!skipMessage) {
            final SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
            boolean foundCorrectIntent = false;
            for (Intent intent : POWER_MANAGER_INTENTS) {
                if (isCallable(context, intent)) {
                    foundCorrectIntent = true;
                    final AppCompatCheckBox dontShowAgain = new AppCompatCheckBox(context);
                    dontShowAgain.setText("Do not show again");
                    dontShowAgain.setOnCheckedChangeListener((buttonView, isChecked) -> {
                        editor.putBoolean("skipProtectedAppCheck", isChecked);
                        editor.apply();
                    });

                    new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
                            .setTitle(Build.MANUFACTURER + " Protected Apps")
                            .setMessage(String.format("%s requires to be enabled in 'Protected Apps' to function properly.%n", context.getString(R.string.app_name)))
                            .setView(dontShowAgain)
                            .setPositiveButton("Go to settings", (dialog, which) -> context.startActivity(intent))
                            .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, null)
                            .show();
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (!foundCorrectIntent) {
                editor.putBoolean("skipProtectedAppCheck", true);
                editor.apply();
            }
        }
    }


    private static boolean isCallable(Context context, Intent intent) {
        List<ResolveInfo> list = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent,
                PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
        return list.size() > 0;
    }

If your preferred Kotlin then use the below code

var POWER_MANAGER_INTENTS = mutableListOf(
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.startupapp.StartupAppListActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.oppo.safe", "com.oppo.safe.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.ui.phoneoptimize.AddWhiteListActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.ui.phoneoptimize.BgStartUpManager")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity")),
    Intent().setComponent(ComponentName("com.asus.mobilemanager", "com.asus.mobilemanager.entry.FunctionActivity")).setData(Uri.parse("mobilemanager://function/entry/AutoStart"))

                val dontShowAgain = AppCompatCheckBox(context)
                dontShowAgain.text = "Do not show again"
                dontShowAgain.setOnCheckedChangeListener { buttonView: CompoundButton?, isChecked: Boolean ->
