allow "panic button" apps to lock Bankdroid

[eighthave]

We (Guardian Project) have been developing "panic button" features in our apps for years, and now we are working to make a more flexible and open ecosystem of apps that can both trigger other apps, or respond to triggers. Since banking should be as private as possible, Bankdroid is a natural panic responder app, for example, by having Bankdroid lock when the "Pattern Lock" is enabled and a panic message is received. This setup allows for easy configuration of a single trigger action which can then trigger multiple apps.

You can see an example of this user experience in this video:

It is simple to implement, here are some examples of other apps:

• allow "panic button" apps to lock SMSSecure SilenceIM/Silence#290
• allow "panic button" apps to wipe activity TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#133
• allow "panic button" apps to lock KeePassDroid bpellin/keepassdroid#72

The first panic button app that sends this kind of trigger is called Ripple, and it is available here:
https://github.com/guardianproject/ripple
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.guardianproject.ripple

I'm adding support to this app right now:
https://panicbutton.io/

Thanks for the suggestion. This is currently out of scoop for the application. Closing for now.
