Detect if my accessibility service is enabled

Question

I was wondering how could I detect if my own service is enabled. So I could check if my service is not enabled, then tell the user to enable it.

Below is the method to check if your accessibility service is enabled or not. 

Note: Change value of YOURAccessibilityService with your Service. 

// To check if service is enabled
private boolean isAccessibilitySettingsOn(Context mContext) {
    int accessibilityEnabled = 0;
    final String service = getPackageName() + "/" + YOURAccessibilityService.class.getCanonicalName();
    try {
        accessibilityEnabled = Settings.Secure.getInt(
                mContext.getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),
                android.provider.Settings.Secure.ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED);
        Log.v(TAG, "accessibilityEnabled = " + accessibilityEnabled);
    } catch (Settings.SettingNotFoundException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Error finding setting, default accessibility to not found: "
                + e.getMessage());
    }
    TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter mStringColonSplitter = new TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter(':');

    if (accessibilityEnabled == 1) {
        Log.v(TAG, "***ACCESSIBILITY IS ENABLED*** -----------------");
        String settingValue = Settings.Secure.getString(
                mContext.getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),
                Settings.Secure.ENABLED_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICES);
        if (settingValue != null) {
            mStringColonSplitter.setString(settingValue);
            while (mStringColonSplitter.hasNext()) {
                String accessibilityService = mStringColonSplitter.next();

                Log.v(TAG, "-------------- > accessibilityService :: " + accessibilityService + " " + service);
                if (accessibilityService.equalsIgnoreCase(service)) {
                    Log.v(TAG, "We've found the correct setting - accessibility is switched on!");
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    } else {
        Log.v(TAG, "***ACCESSIBILITY IS DISABLED***");
    }

    return false;
}

And to call this method:

if (!isAccessibilitySettingsOn(getApplicationContext())) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_SETTINGS));
}

This will check and launch accessibility settings if not enabled.

This is somehow a smaller version, but it is working.

fun isAccessServiceEnabled(context: Context): Boolean {
    val prefString =
        Settings.Secure.getString(context.contentResolver, Settings.Secure.ENABLED_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICES)
    return prefString.contains("${context.packageName}/${context.packageName}.${context.getString(R.string.access_service_name)}")
}

Feel free to correct me if there is something missing.

This is a modified version of Jakub Bláha's answer in java.

public boolean isAccessServiceEnabled(Context context, Class accessibilityServiceClass)
{
    String prefString = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ENABLED_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICES);

    return prefString!= null && prefString.contains(context.getPackageName() + "/" + accessibilityServiceClass.getName());
}
