Run Kiosk-Like' Fashion Android Application.

Android can run tasks in an immersive, kiosk-like fashion called lock task mode. You might use lock task mode if you’re developing a kiosk application or a launcher to present a collection of apps. When the system runs in lock task mode, device users typically can’t see notifications, access non-white-listed apps, or return to the home screen (unless the home screen is white-listed).

Lock task mode and screen pinning are sometimes used interchangeably. Screen pinning appears similar but the person using the device can exit the mode whenever they want.

Let us see how it is done programmatically,
