Remarks

This class gives information about, and interacts with, activities, services, and the containing process.

A number of the methods in this class are for debugging or informational purposes and they should not be used to affect any runtime behavior of your app. These methods are called out as such in the method level documentation.

Most application developers should not have the need to use this class, most of whose methods are for specialized use cases. However, a few methods are more broadly applicable. For instance, isLowRamDevice() enables your app to detect whether it is running on a low-memory device, and behave accordingly. clearApplicationUserData() is for apps with reset-data functionality.

In some special use cases, where an app interacts with its Task stack, the app may use the ActivityManager.AppTask and ActivityManager.RecentTaskInfo inner classes. However, in general, the methods in this class should be used for testing and debugging purposes only.
