Check this out for more information: https://developers.google.com/android/work/build-dpc TLDR: Enterprise Mobile Management (EMM) console software + Device Policy Controller (DPC, re: this sample project) allows you to setup and deploy Android devices in the enterprise. You can configure various policies, such as enabling/disabling settings, silently install and update APKs, creating work profile accounts, and lock down devices as you please (make your app "locked" to the screen, aka kiosk-mode). The DPC is what gets installed on the device and manages everything from the user's (hidden) perspective. It is a service that runs in the background with the highest-level privileges. It's basically a Google "Device Policy" app for non-G Suite (Google Apps) users & devices. The EMM console is what administrators use to manage device policies remotely. You can, for example, manage APK installations by scheduling it through the EMM console and have the DPC listen and perform your requested actions. The DPC is normally deployed when a device is first setup (or after a factory reset). Instead of signing in with a Google Account, users/admins can provision a supported device by entering a "AfW" code, e.g. |

You mean app shortcut icons. Found it. Does it require only admin rights, or more? Is it possible to have admin rights to be able to install APK files and uninstall apps in the background, using the PackageInstaller.Session API ? |
Why is it closed? This doesn't work... |
@AndroidDeveloperLB |
I see. Why does it have a badge ? Why not launch the other, normal icon of the app? |
If so, how does it work?
