Basically a way to define what apps the screen grabber will or won't grab.

Option 2 seems like the better solution, but might be a google play violation... It may also pose problems for android TV setups.

I'm gonna tag this wontfix for now... It looks like any way of achieving this is already frowned upon for various reasons, and google also appears to actively be taking steps to patch-up the ways to try to get this information.

We could try to make this work in the future, but as of right now it seems like it may be a battle.

Just want to add here that the AccessibilityService might be worth trying if we have a clear use case for this functionality. The google play violation cites links which are dead now, and it seems that at least in Android 7, it hasn't been blocked yet. However, I personally don't need it and it hasn't been requested by users.

This feature request is similar to #148 Maybe it will fine enough if that DRM Protection detection does work.
