Capturing/Intercepting Android Intents during runtime

Is there any way to capture/intercept Intents of application during runtime without modifying Android framework? Modifying Android framework might require too much work. Please help me.

Inside instrumentation tests (tried on UI Automator) you can use IntentMonitor:

val intentMonitor = IntentMonitorRegistry.getInstance()
intentMonitor.addIntentCallback { intent ->
    // your code here
}

To view Intents as they happen, run logcat in a shell and filter it down to just the Intents like this:

adb logcat | fgrep -i intent

(You can also add a filter for just your app's Intents, but that would exclude Intents sent to your app by the system and by other apps.)

This should show Intents such as

I/ActivityManager( 585): Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action...}

To see system-wide Intents, try the Intent Intercept app.

To see all Intents sent to your own classes, then

For info on all the standard Intent actions, see Intent.
