It is impossible: your app should not be able to gain "system level" privileges.
Apps exploiting this type of behavior typically read logs and then shut down other apps by killing them with a pid, relaunching after the user inputs a password. Fortunately, this behavior has been removed (no read logs permission) in newer Android builds.
