ContentProvider on a customized process

[vliux]

tray Version (E.g. 0.12.0)

The Provider of Tray is running at main process. In our app we'd like to have it running in a ":service" process so that the UI process is free to be terminated by Android in background.

Seems at present there is no way to customize this.

I tried to manifest merger to add android:process=":service" to the Provider in manifest. But it crashed the app due to:

net.grandcentrix.tray.core.TrayRuntimeException: Internal tray error

Caused by: net.grandcentrix.tray.core.TrayRuntimeException: Internal tray error. Could not find the provider authority.

This is because TrayContract.getAuthority() forces the query of providers in current process:
getPackageManager()
.queryContentProviders(context.getPackageName(), Process.myUid(), 0);
