How to stop an android device from being charged programmatically?

Question

Is there an Android API for stop charging even though physically the charging is on?

Answer 1

I have installed a timer on the AC receptacle where I plug my Moto E's charger into. After guestimating how much time the battery needs to charge to about 85%, I set the timer. This is not my idea of a solution, but at least it keeps my phone from being charged to 100%, as I usually err on the short side when setting the timer.
