While poking around at the Android Market listing for the PayPal app, I saw that the first requested permission is:
"SEND LINUX SIGNALS TO APPLICATIONS Allows application to request that the supplied signal be sent to all persistent processes." This is the SIGNAL_PERSISTENT_PROCESSES permission: "Allow an application to request that a signal be sent to all persistent processes" Poking around the source code, the only place I see it being used is in ActivityManagerNative, for a signalPersistentProcesses() method that does not appear to be exposed in the ActivityManager SDK class. It seems to be used by the Monkey for generating an HPROF file, but I fail to see why a production SDK application would want to do this, let alone how. Any idea what the heck PayPal is doing with this permission in a production app?
