I would use this:

startActivityForResult(Intent("android.settings.PICTURE_IN_PICTURE_SETTINGS", Uri.parse("package:$packageName")), 0)

It will also scroll to and highlight your application

No, You can't as Android OS needs consent of user to enable PIP (Picture-in-Picture) . However you can show user a dialog box regarding activation of PIP and on action button open app's setting page from where he can manually enable PIP.

Code to Open Setting Page :

val intent = Intent(
Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS,
Uri.fromParts("package", packageName, null)
)
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
startActivity(intent)
