UserManager

public class UserManager
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.os.UserManager

Manages users and user details on a multi-user system. There are two major categories of users: fully customizable users with their own login, and managed profiles that share a workspace with a related user.

Users are different from accounts, which are managed by AccountManager. Each user can have their own set of accounts.

See DevicePolicyManager#ACTION_PROVISION_MANAGED_PROFILE for more on managed profiles.

    requestQuietModeEnabled

    public boolean requestQuietModeEnabled (boolean enableQuietMode, 
                UserHandle userHandle)

    Enables or disables quiet mode for a managed profile. If quiet mode is enabled, apps in a managed profile don't run, generate notifications, or consume data or battery.

    If a user's credential is needed to turn off quiet mode, a confirm credential screen will be shown to the user.

    The change may not happen instantly, however apps can listen for Intent#ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_AVAILABLE and Intent#ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE broadcasts in order to be notified of the change of the quiet mode. Apps can also check the current state of quiet mode by calling isQuietModeEnabled(android.os.UserHandle).

    The caller must either be the foreground default launcher or have one of these permissions: MANAGE_USERS or MODIFY_QUIET_MODE.

    Parameters
    enableQuietMode boolean: whether quiet mode should be enabled or disabled
    userHandle UserHandle: user handle of the profile This value cannot be null.
    Returns
    boolean false if user's credential is needed in order to turn off quiet mode, true otherwise
    Throws
    SecurityException if the caller is invalid
    IllegalArgumentException if userHandle is not a managed profile
