POError using StatusBarManagerService - java.lang.SecurityException on android.permission.STATUS_BAR_SERVICE
text
Body
copied!<p>I wanted to use the StatusBarManagerService, but it's not available on the SDK, so I tried "cheating", using reflection to access it.</p> <p>I was able to access it, but now it's giving me an error when accessing one of its methods:</p> <pre><code>java.lang.SecurityException: StatusBarManagerService: Neither user 10139 nor current process has android.permission.STATUS_BAR_SERVICE. </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to be granted this permission, or is it simply not possible?</p> <p>This is my code:</p> <pre><code> try { Class serviceManagerClass = Class.forName("android.os.ServiceManager"); Method getService = serviceManagerClass.getMethod("getService", String.class); IBinder retbinder = (IBinder) getService.invoke(serviceManagerClass, "statusbar"); Class statusBarClass = Class.forName(retbinder.getInterfaceDescriptor()); Object statusBarObject = statusBarClass.getClasses()[0].getMethod("asInterface", IBinder.class).invoke(null, new Object[] { retbinder }); Method clearAll = statusBarClass.getMethod("onClearAllNotifications"); clearAll.setAccessible(true); clearAll.invoke(statusBarObject); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SecurityException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalAccessException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (InvocationTargetException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (RemoteException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } </code></pre> <p>And this is what I added in the AndroidManifest:</p> <pre><code> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.STATUS_BAR_SERVICE" /> </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to be granted this permission, or is it simply not possible?</p>
