Value for flags: Set to true if the application's backup agent claims to be able to handle restore data even "from the future," i.e. from versions of the application with a versionCode greater than the one currently installed on the device. Use with caution! By default this attribute is false and the Backup Manager will ensure that data from "future" versions of the application are never supplied during a restore operation.

If android:allowBackup is set to false or no android:backupAgent is specified, this flag will be ignored.

Comes from the android:restoreAnyVersion attribute of the <application> tag.

Value: 131072

FLAG_STOPPED

Added in API level 12
static val FLAG_STOPPED: Int

Value for flags: true if this application's package is in the stopped state.

The system tries not to start it unless initiated by a user interaction (typically launching its icon from the launcher, could also include user actions like adding it as an app widget, selecting it as a live wallpaper, selecting it as a keyboard, etc). Stopped applications will not receive implicit broadcasts unless the sender specifies android.content.Intent#FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES.

Applications should avoid launching activities, binding to or starting services, or otherwise causing a stopped application to run unless initiated by the user.

An app can also return to the stopped state by a "force stop".

FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCREEN_DENSITIES

Added in API level 4
Deprecated in API level 30
static val FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCREEN_DENSITIES: Int

static val FLAG_USES_CLEARTEXT_TRAFFIC: Int

Value for flags: true if the application may use cleartext network traffic (e.g., HTTP rather than HTTPS; WebSockets rather than WebSockets Secure; XMPP, IMAP, SMTP without STARTTLS or TLS). If false, the app declares that it does not intend to use cleartext network traffic, in which case platform components (e.g., HTTP stacks, DownloadManager, MediaPlayer) will refuse app's requests to use cleartext traffic. Third-party libraries are encouraged to honor this flag as well.
