Re: [android-developers] Intercept an app

ok... I might work... but what if another app launches a browse, how can I intercept that?

if i had to do this i would do an activity which is marked as launcher ( only this activity ) having text to enter password. 

if the password is correct i would open with intent a proper activity, otherwise would stop the application.

It is impossible: your app should not be able to gain "system level" privileges.

Apps exploiting this type of behavior typically read logs and then
shut down other apps by killing them with a pid, relaunching after the
user inputs a password.  Fortunately, this behavior has been removed
(no read logs permission) in newer Android builds.
