An AccessibilityService runs in the background and receives callbacks by the system when AccessibilityEvents are fired. Such events denote some state transition in the user interface, for example, the focus has changed, a button has been clicked, etc. Such a service can optionally request the capability for querying the content of the active window. Development of an accessibility service requires extends this class and implements its abstract methods.

An AccessibilityServiceInfo describes an AccessibilityService. The system notifies an AccessibilityService for AccessibilityEvents according to the information encapsulated in this class.
