How to filter Notification Access Screen to my app?

At the moment I ask for the permission to use the Notification Access (Notification Listener Service) in the following way:

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS));

This does work, but the user has to choose my app from a list of apps.

To improve the usability, I'd like it to look more like this

Does anyone know how to filter it properly?

For the usage access settings I use the following Code:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_USAGE_ACCESS_SETTINGS, Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
startActivity(myIntent);

Sadly, this does not work for notification access settings. Error:

No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS dat=package:notificationmanager }
Solution

  • Found a solution:

    ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(getPackageName(), YOUR_LISTENER_CLASS.class.getName());
Intent notificationAccessSettings = 
    new Intent(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_DETAIL_SETTINGS));

notificationAccessSettings.putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_COMPONENT_NAME, componentName.flattenToString());
            
startActivity(notificationAccessSettings);

    This was only introduced in API Version 30, and I don't know a way (or if it is even possible) for earlier versions.
