Disable quick settings tile in Android

I cannot find a way to disable quick settings tile in Android programmatically that is a requirement for our enterprise launcher.

Are there any clues beyond the How to disable the notification bar pull-down in Android? and https://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/f/509/t/283260

Is it possible to do? Thanks!

Yes you can do it. I had used the following snippet to disable quick settings.

public static void preventStatusBarExpansion(Context context) {
        WindowManager manager = ((WindowManager) context.getApplicationContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE));



        Activity activity = (Activity)context;
        WindowManager.LayoutParams localLayoutParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
        localLayoutParams.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR;
        localLayoutParams.gravity = Gravity.TOP;
        localLayoutParams.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE|

                // this is to enable the notification to recieve touch events
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL |

                // Draws over status bar
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN;

        localLayoutParams.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
        int resId = activity.getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        int result = 0;
        if (resId > 0) {
            result = activity.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resId);
        }

        localLayoutParams.height = result;

        localLayoutParams.format = PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT;

        customViewGroup view = new customViewGroup(context);

        manager.addView(view, localLayoutParams);
    }

Call this method where ever you need. Before calling this method make sure you has screen overlay permission. However this permission is deprecated in Oreo.

No, not impossible. Use ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS to prevent it be pulled down when the screen is locked.

It seems is impossible to do at all.

That is the answer.

May you start your app in the full screen mode? like explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8470893/2801860

<activity
  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
  ....
