Solution

  • I got it worked.

    There are 2 parts

    i) You've to register tombstones path using FileObserver, so whenever new tombstone created you'll get the callback. ii) Your app should have the permission to read this path otherwise you'll get an avc denied due to SELinux. So add permission to system_app.te file of sepolicy.
