How to dynamically enable/disable an Android Component declared in the manifest.

Android_enableManifestComponent.java

import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;

public class Android_enableManifestComponent {
  public static void enableManifestComponent(Context context, Class<?> component, boolean enable) {
    ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, component);
    
    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
    
    int newState = (enable ?
        PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED : 
        PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED);
    
    pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver, newState,
      PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
  }
}

Great snippet. I use it as a Kotlin Context extension:

import android.content.ComponentName
import android.content.Context
import android.content.pm.PackageManager

/**
 * Explicitly enables or disables the given app component
 * such as a service or receiver without killing the app.
 *
 * @param componentClass the class of the desired component
 * @param isEnabled whether to enable or disable the component
 *
 * @see PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting
 * @see PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED
 * @see PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED
 */
fun Context.setManifestComponentEnabled(
    componentClass: Class<*>,
    isEnabled: Boolean,
) {
    packageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting(
        ComponentName(this, componentClass),
        if (isEnabled)
            PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED
        else
            PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,
        PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP,
    )
}
