How to send broadcast with permission from command line

Question

I have a broadcast receiver in a app which uses my permission com.myexample.permission.MY_PERMISSION.

I am able to send the broadcast using

se

Answer 1

Use arg --receiver-permission which belongs to subcmd broadcast:

adb shell am broadcast -a com.com.myexample.MY_ACTION --receiver-permission com.myexample.permission.MY_PERMISSION

Answer 2

Taking a look at this post try removing the permission temporarily when you're doing testing from adb, and then re-adding the permission when you're ready to test it through a real broadcast.

If that is not acceptable, this post may be of some help.

Answer 3

If my answer here is not what you are looking for, try pm grant PACKAGE PERMISSION:

1. add "development" level when define com.myexample.permission.MY_PERMISSION in your app, like android:protectionLevel="signature|development"
2. grant this permission to "shell" in adb shell:
   pm grant com.android.shell com.myexample.permission.MY_PERMISSION
