Android accessibility service detect notification

Accessibility services in Android 4.0 and above can behave strangely if there is no accessibility-service meta-data tag defined in the manifest. Try defining the meta-data as in the examples below. You should continue to use setServiceInfo() to maintain backward compatibility with pre-4.0 devices.

Also, I would recommend specifying a feedback type that is specific to your service, rather than using “all”.

AndroidManifest.xml

    <service
        . . .
        android:name=".NotificationService"
        android:permission="android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" />
        </intent-filter>

        <meta-data
            android:name="android.accessibilityservice"
            android:resource="@xml/accessibilityservice" />
    </service>

res/xml/accessibilityservice.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<accessibility-service xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:accessibilityEventTypes="typeNotificationStateChanged"
    android:accessibilityFeedbackType="feedbackAllMask"
    android:notificationTimeout="100" />

There was an error in your feedbackType. Corrected below. Still, consider using a more specific feedback type.

NotificationService.java

@Override
protected void onServiceConnected() {
    AccessibilityServiceInfo info = new AccessibilityServiceInfo();
    info.eventTypes = AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED;
    info.feedbackType = AccessibilityServiceInfo.FEEDBACK_ALL_MASK;
    info.notificationTimeout = 100;
    setServiceInfo(info);
}
