Remarks
Allows a foreground application to specify which card emulation service should be preferred while a specific Activity is in the foreground.
The specified Activity must currently be in resumed state. A good paradigm is to call this method in your Activity#onResume, and to call #unsetPreferredService(Activity) in your Activity#onPause.
This method call will fail in two specific scenarios: <ul> <li> If the service registers one or more AIDs in the #CATEGORY_PAYMENT category, but the user has indicated that foreground apps are not allowed to override the default payment service. <li> If the service registers one or more AIDs in the #CATEGORY_OTHER category that are also handled by the default payment service, and the user has indicated that foreground apps are not allowed to override the default payment service. </ul>
Use #categoryAllowsForegroundPreference(String) to determine whether foreground apps can override the default payment service.
Note that this preference is not persisted by the OS, and hence must be called every time the Activity is resumed.
