/**
 * An accessibility service runs in the background and receives callbacks by the system
 * when {@link AccessibilityEvent}s are fired. Such events denote some state transition
 * in the user interface, for example, the focus has changed, a button has been clicked,
 * etc.
 * <p>
 * An accessibility service extends this class and implements its abstract methods. Such
 * a service is declared as any other service in an AndroidManifest.xml but it must also
 * specify that it handles the "android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService"
 * {@link android.content.Intent}. Following is an example of such a declaration:
 * <p>
 * <code>
 * &lt;service android:name=".MyAccessibilityService"&gt;<br>
 *     &lt;intent-filter&gt;<br>
 *         &lt;action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" /&gt;<br>
 *     &lt;/intent-filter&gt;<br>
 * &lt;/service&gt;<br>
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * The lifecycle of an accessibility service is managed exclusively by the system. Starting
 * or stopping an accessibility service is triggered by an explicit user action through
 * enabling or disabling it in the device settings. After the system binds to a service it
 * calls {@link AccessibilityService#onServiceConnected()}. This method can be
 * overriden by clients that want to perform post binding setup. An accessibility service
 * is configured though setting an {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo} by calling
 * {@link AccessibilityService#setServiceInfo(AccessibilityServiceInfo)}. You can call this
 * method any time to change the service configuration but it is good practice to do that
 * in the overriden {@link AccessibilityService#onServiceConnected()}.
 * <p>
 * An accessibility service can be registered for events in specific packages to provide a
 * specific type of feedback and is notified with a certain timeout after the last event
 * of interest has been fired.
 * <p>
 * <b>Notification strategy</b>
 * <p>
 * For each feedback type only one accessibility service is notified. Services are notified
 * in the order of registration. Hence, if two services are registered for the same
 * feedback type in the same package the first one wins. It is possible however, to
 * register a service as the default one for a given feedback type. In such a case this
 * service is invoked if no other service was interested in the event. In other words, default
 * services do not compete with other services and are notified last regardless of the
 * registration order. This enables "generic" accessibility services that work reasonably
 * well with most applications to coexist with "polished" ones that are targeted for
 * specific applications.
 * <p>
 * <b>Event types</b>
 * <p>
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_CLICKED}
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_LONG_CLICKED}
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED}
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_SELECTED}
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGED}
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED}
 * {@link AccessibilityEvent#TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED}
 *  <p>
 *  <b>Feedback types</b>
 *  <p>
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_AUDIBLE}
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_HAPTIC}
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_AUDIBLE}
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_VISUAL}
 * {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FEEDBACK_GENERIC}
 *
 * @see AccessibilityEvent
 * @see AccessibilityServiceInfo
 * @see android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityManager
 *
 * Note: The event notification timeout is useful to avoid propagating events to the client
 *       too frequently since this is accomplished via an expensive interprocess call.
 *       One can think of the timeout as a criteria to determine when event generation has
 *       settled down.
