The manifest presents essential information about the application to the Android system, information the system must have before it can run any of the application's code.

The allowed elements are as follows:

<action>
<activity>
<activity-alias>
<application>
<category>
<data>
<grant-uri-permission>
<instrumentation>
<intent-filter>
<manifest>
<meta-data>
<permission>
<permission-group>
<permission-tree>
<provider>
<receiver>
<service>
<uses-configuration>
<uses-library>
<uses-permission>
<uses-sdk>


[Note] apktool or aapt can extract manifest.xml from apk
[Note] PackageManager can also get info in manifest,  getLaunchIntentForPackage()
[Note] unzip apk can get manifest.xml, but it's binary?
