<b>Note:</b> This query is used for sending AccessibilityEvents, since events are only needed if accessibility is on. Avoid changing UI or app behavior based on the state of accessibility. While well-intentioned, doing this creates brittle, less well-maintained code that works for some users but not others. Shared code leads to more equitable experiences and less technical debt.

For example, if you want to expose a unique interaction with your app, use ViewCompat#addAccessibilityAction in AndroidX to make this interaction - ideally with the same code path used for non-accessibility users - available to accessibility services. Services can then expose this action in the way best fit for their users.
