android.os.health
Applications running in the background are responsible for a significant amount
of battery usage on a typical android device. There are several things that
applications can do in order to reduce their impact. For example, by using
JobScheduler, an application does not need
to independently monitor whether the network is available, whether the device is
plugged in, etc. In addition to being simpler to use, the application's
services are only started when the required conditions have been met. But even
when using the appropriate helper APIs, applications still can reduce their
footprint. This package provides more insight into what is going on behind the
scenes when an application is running.

statistics.
