I'm making an app that relies on the content of an specific group of apps.
I want to know if it's possible And I want to make a notification when the user opens one app of that group just to remind him to update my app.
I want to know if it is possible somehow to list these specific apps. For the notification not to appear in all apps.
I don't have much experience on Android Studio. And I never made a notification system on my apps.

I have never made an app before but I’m currently relearning Java with hopes to make an Android app soon. However a key part of my app would rely on borrowing data from another app, namely the Digital Wellbeing app by Google. I essentially want to build an app that will take user’s phone usage data and do cool stuff with it. Is this possible?
For android mobile programmers I have a question. I want to put a notification for our mobile app, if the user click the update and agree to it. It will direct them to Google Playstore and then they will manually click the update button in playstore. I want to clarify if we need to make a web back end for the update notification or some methods or classes for the mobile itself to alert the users to update it manually without the help of the web back end. Thanks in advance.
Google Play already does this. Although the user has the option of disabling the alert.
I have an app for a customer (refer to it as "their" app). When "their" app is open they do not want users of the device to use any other apps.
The only way they want to get round this, is if i create a login page within the app, and from there you can go to the android settings page. If the android settings are accessed, then the user should be able to go anywhere they want, until "their" app is in the foreground again, then the device should be locked into using just that app.
If this makes any difference, "their" app is a cordova app. I dont think it will, but thought i would mention it anyway. Needs to work in android 5.0
Is this possible at all? What would i need to implement for this? A service and timer?
UPDATE
It is a tablet, so it will never ring.
If the user presses the Home button, nothing should happen as the app should stay in the foreground
I have been trying to create an alarm application for my watch for past few days. And unable to find any clue that how we can create a background service for android wear. Even I didn't find anything in the developer guide for android wear.
But, I just want to create this application only for android wear and don't want to synchronize data from my cell phone.
Android Wear is based on the same architecture as regular Android phones. So if you want to create a background service, you do it exactly the same as you would on a phone.
For example, here is a tutorial on creating a background service:
http://developer.android.com/training/run-background-service/index.html
And a stackoverflow question about background services:
Creating Background Service in Android
If you want an app to run on the wearable, you will still need to provide a minimal phone application to deliver it to phones via Google Play. More information about packaging is here: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/packaging.html
Is it at all possible to create an App Widget programmatically from within an Android app itself? I'm rather lost on how to do this and Googling so far has led me to believe that it is not possible (that an App Widget and an App itself has to be separate applications).
So, would it be possible to dynamically create an App Widget from within an Android App? If not possible, how would you approach it? Thanks all!

That would depend completely upon what you mean by this.

No, an app widget most certainly can go in the same Android project as the rest of the application. In fact, usually it does.

Again, you seem to think that the world knows what you mean by "dynamically", forcing us to guess.
An app widget, from the standpoint of code, consists of an AppWidgetProvider, an entry in the manifest pointing to that AppWidgetProvider, a metadata XML file, and whatever other resources you need (layouts, drawables, etc). All of that has to be written by a programmer and included in the app at compile time -- you cannot "dynamically" create those things.
An instance of an app widget is put on the home screen by the user, not by the programmer. Hence, a programmer cannot "dynamically" create instances of an app widget.
What the programmer can do "dynamically" is decide what is displayed inside of the app widget (e.g., current headlines for a news ticker, current song being played for a music player).
