Summary

Constants

int IMPORTANCE_BACKGROUND

This constant was deprecated in API level 26. Renamed to IMPORTANCE_CACHED.

int IMPORTANCE_CACHED

Constant for importance: This process contains cached code that is expendable, not actively running any app components we care about.

int IMPORTANCE_CANT_SAVE_STATE

Constant for importance: This process is running an application that can not save its state, and thus can't be killed while in the background.

int IMPORTANCE_EMPTY

This constant was deprecated in API level 26. This value is no longer reported, use IMPORTANCE_CACHED instead.

int IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND

Constant for importance: This process is running the foreground UI; that is, it is the thing currently at the top of the screen that the user is interacting with.

int IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND_SERVICE

Constant for importance: This process is running a foreground service, for example to perform music playback even while the user is not immediately in the app.

int IMPORTANCE_GONE

Constant for importance: This process does not exist.

int IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE

Constant for importance: This process is not something the user is directly aware of, but is otherwise perceptible to them to some degree.

int IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE_PRE_26

Constant for importance: IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE had this wrong value before Build.VERSION_CODES#O.

int IMPORTANCE_SERVICE

Constant for importance: This process contains services that should remain running.

int IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING

Constant for importance: This process is running the foreground UI, but the device is asleep so it is not visible to the user.

int IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING_PRE_28

This constant was deprecated in API level 28. Pre-Build.VERSION_CODES.P version of IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING. As of Android Build.VERSION_CODES.P, this is considered much less important since we want to reduce what apps can do when the screen is off.

int IMPORTANCE_VISIBLE

Constant for importance: This process is running something that is actively visible to the user, though not in the immediate foreground.

int REASON_PROVIDER_IN_USE

Constant for importanceReasonCode: one of the application's content providers is being used by another process.

int REASON_SERVICE_IN_USE

Constant for importanceReasonCode: one of the application's content providers is being used by another process.

int REASON_UNKNOWN

Constant for importanceReasonCode: nothing special has been specified for the reason for this level.

Constants

IMPORTANCE_BACKGROUND

Added in API level 3
Deprecated in API level 26
public static final int IMPORTANCE_BACKGROUND

This constant was deprecated in API level 26.
Renamed to IMPORTANCE_CACHED.

Constant Value: 400 (0x00000190)

IMPORTANCE_CACHED

Added in API level 26
public static final int IMPORTANCE_CACHED

Constant for importance: This process contains cached code that is expendable, not actively running any app components we care about.

Constant Value: 400 (0x00000190)

IMPORTANCE_CANT_SAVE_STATE

Added in API level 28
public static final int IMPORTANCE_CANT_SAVE_STATE

Constant for importance: This process is running an application that can not save its state, and thus can't be killed while in the background. This will be used with apps that have R.attr.cantSaveState set on their application tag.

Constant Value: 350 (0x0000015e)

IMPORTANCE_EMPTY

Added in API level 3
Deprecated in API level 26
public static final int IMPORTANCE_EMPTY

This constant was deprecated in API level 26.
This value is no longer reported, use IMPORTANCE_CACHED instead.

Constant for importance: This process is empty of any actively running code.

Constant Value: 500 (0x000001f4)

IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND

Added in API level 3
public static final int IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND

Constant for importance: This process is running the foreground UI; that is, it is the thing currently at the top of the screen that the user is interacting with.

Constant Value: 100 (0x00000064)

IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND_SERVICE

Added in API level 23
public static final int IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND_SERVICE

Constant for importance: This process is running a foreground service, for example to perform music playback even while the user is not immediately in the app. This generally indicates that the process is doing something the user actively cares about.

Constant Value: 125 (0x0000007d)

IMPORTANCE_GONE

Added in API level 21
public static final int IMPORTANCE_GONE

Constant for importance: This process does not exist.

Constant Value: 1000 (0x000003e8)

IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE

Added in API level 9
public static final int IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE

Constant for importance: This process is not something the user is directly aware of, but is otherwise perceptible to them to some degree.

Constant Value: 230 (0x000000e6)

IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE_PRE_26

Added in API level 26
public static final int IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE_PRE_26

Constant for importance: IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE had this wrong value before Build.VERSION_CODES#O. Since the Build.VERSION_CODES#O SDK, the value of IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE has been fixed.

The system will return this value instead of IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE on Android versions below Build.VERSION_CODES#O.

On Android version Build.VERSION_CODES#O and later, this value will still be returned for apps with the target API level below Build.VERSION_CODES#O. For apps targeting version Build.VERSION_CODES#O and later, the correct value IMPORTANCE_PERCEPTIBLE will be returned.

Constant Value: 130 (0x00000082)

IMPORTANCE_SERVICE

Added in API level 3
public static final int IMPORTANCE_SERVICE

Constant for importance: This process contains services that should remain running. These are background services apps have started, not something the user is aware of, so they may be killed by the system relatively freely (though it is generally desired that they stay running as long as they want to).

Constant Value: 300 (0x0000012c)

IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING

Added in API level 23
public static final int IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING

Constant for importance: This process is running the foreground UI, but the device is asleep so it is not visible to the user. Though the system will try hard to keep its process from being killed, in all other ways we consider it a kind of cached process, with the limitations that go along with that state: network access, running background services, etc.

Constant Value: 325 (0x00000145)

IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING_PRE_28

Added in API level 28
Deprecated in API level 28
public static final int IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING_PRE_28

This constant was deprecated in API level 28.
Pre-Build.VERSION_CODES.P version of IMPORTANCE_TOP_SLEEPING. As of Android Build.VERSION_CODES.P, this is considered much less important since we want to reduce what apps can do when the screen is off.

Constant Value: 150 (0x00000096)

IMPORTANCE_VISIBLE

Added in API level 3
public static final int IMPORTANCE_VISIBLE

Constant for importance: This process is running something that is actively visible to the user, though not in the immediate foreground. This may be running a window that is behind the current foreground (so paused and with its state saved, not interacting with the user, but visible to them to some degree); it may also be running other services under the system's control that it considers important.

Constant Value: 200 (0x000000c8)

REASON_PROVIDER_IN_USE

Added in API level 5
public static final int REASON_PROVIDER_IN_USE

Constant for importanceReasonCode: one of the application's content providers is being used by another process. The pid of the client process is in importanceReasonPid and the target provider in this process is in importanceReasonComponent.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

REASON_SERVICE_IN_USE

Added in API level 5
public static final int REASON_SERVICE_IN_USE

Constant for importanceReasonCode: one of the application's content providers is being used by another process. The pid of the client process is in importanceReasonPid and the target provider in this process is in importanceReasonComponent.
