SecurityException while broadcasting protected intents

I'm working on an app that should be able to broadcast protected intents like android.intent.action.DEVICE_STORAGE_LOWso that I can see if the necessary system receivers work properly. Currently the app stops and I get a security exception.

Is there anyway to give the app permissions to send these protected broadcasts?

Only system-level processes can broadcast protected intents. An app can't get the persmission to send them in any way, except maybe on a rooted device if you can find a way to start your app as a system process.
