exported

Whether components of other applications can invoke the service or interact with it. If true, they can. If false, they can not. When the value is false, only components of the same application or applications with the same user ID can start the service or bind to it. This controls the value of the android:exported attribute of the service manifest entry for this service host. This configuration is unavailable (null) if an external IVI service host is referenced.

If true, in most cases, it is desired to protect the access to the service host with sn Android permission with a signature, privileged or knownSigner protection level. See permission.
