Bug: 5578022
Previously, Binder transactions failed silently, which caused
problems because apps would carry on assuming that the operation
had succeeded. Often, the apps would crash soon due to a violated
invariant, but sometimes they managed to do some damage first...

We're adding a new intent to allow 3rd party apps to disable
the Messaging app's notification. We want any app to be able to query
the setting of whether sms notifications are on or off, but only allow
system apps, particularly the Messaging app, to change that setting.
Other apps can change the setting by firing off an intent which brings
up a dialog activity in the Messaging app that'll let them turn off
Messaging notifications.

Allow a fragment to set a hint of whether or not it is currently user
visible. This will be used implicitly to defer the start of fragments
that are not user visible until the loaders for visible fragments have
run. This hint defaults to true.

This is the process that you had previously been interacting with
in the UI before the current one. Treating it specially should
allow us to improve the scenario of switching back and forth
between two apps.
Also add API constent for ICS MR1.

- Don't try to create a thumbnail bitmap on the client side. This
wastes 64k, and isn't needed since we are doing screenshots.
- Optimize View to put all of the callback pointers out of line.
Added a couple new APIs so these don't need to be protected/public.
- Lazily create ViewGroup's cache paint.
- Change FrameworkPerf app to not use HW accel drawing, to give better
comparison with GB.

- IME service now switches between visible and perceptible depending on
whether it is being showm, allowing us to more aggressively free its
memory when not shown.
- The activity display time is no longer delayed by the activity
transition animation.
- New -R (repeat) option for launching activities with the am command.
- Improved some documentation on Loader to be clear about some methods
that apps should not normally call.
- FrameworkPerf test now allows you to select individual tests to run.

Swiping the home screen causes the WindowManagerService to do
a bunch of work to keep the wallpapers in sync. First, it lays out
and places all windows. Also, it notifies the SystemUI process that
the wallpaper position has changed.
The layout/place operation is too much work - we only need to set
the position values for the wallpaper, not relayout the whole system.
The notification mechanism must exist, but should be optional. Most
wallpapers don't care (especially static ImageWallpapers). So we'll
give them a new API (WallpaperService.Engine.setWantsOffsets()) to
allow wallpapers to opt out of this process and avoid the performance
overhead.

Fragments now have the setDeferStart method to signal that a fragment
has lower priority than others. Deferred start fragments will not
always be started immediately; they will be started once any loaders
have finished servicing any outstanding requests. This is useful if
any attached fragments are not immediately visible and can wait to
start until later.
Disabling deferStart on a fragment that is waiting for a deferred
start will start it immediately. Start.
