Answer 1

for add any metadata dynamically you can use this code:

try {
            ApplicationInfo applicationInfo = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(getPackageName(), PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
            applicationInfo.metaData.putString("Your Key", "Your Value");
        } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Hello all i know above answer is right for older sdk version, but in

facebook sdk 4+

there is no Session class

You can simply do it by using this single line code:

FacebookSdk.setApplicationId(APP_ID);

Thanks!

No, it's not possible. The manifest get's parsed at compile time -> you can't add meta-data at runtime.
