This overlay type is only available to accessibility services and is required to position interactive elements above all other apps. 2. **Global Action Execution** — The service uses `performGlobalAction()` to execute system shortcuts (Home, Back, Recents, Quick Settings, Notifications, Lock Screen, Power Menu) that you assign to notch gestures or trigger from the island quick-action buttons. 3. **Screenshot Capture** — On Android 11 and above, the service uses the `AccessibilityService.takeScreenshot()` API to capture screenshots when you trigger it via a notch gesture or the Screenshot quick-action button. It also reads incoming message and app notification titles, text, and app icons to display brief alert cards in the notch island, and detects call notifications to temporarily pause the overlay. Notification content is used only for on-device display — it is not stored or transmitted 4. **Gesture Dispatch** — The service can perform gestures programmatically when needed for certain shortcut actions. **What We Do NOT Do** - We do NOT read or capture on-screen content (`canRetrieveWindowContent` is disabled). - We do NOT monitor your activity or collect personal data. - We do NOT share any data with third parties. The Accessibility Service is used solely to enable the core functionality of turning your camera cutout into an interactive gesture zone. No screen content is accessed, read, or stored at any time. The service observes window-state changes (app/package names only, never window content) to pause the overlay during calls, camera use, and fullscreen popups **Notification Listener Service** NotchHub also uses a Notification Listener Service to extract media playback information (title, artist, album art, play/pause state) from media notifications. This powers the Media widget feature. No notification content is stored or transmitted. --------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
