Since Android 8 it's not possible to listen to implicit broadcasts anymore when the reciever is declared in the AndroidManifest.xml. In a previous commit we disabled sending out broadcasts to other apps. This caused some trouble. For new we hard code 3rd party receiver package names in a resource array. This is supposed to be changed later on, see #824.

Starting with Android 8, we can no longer send implicit broadcasts to 3rd party apps which register their broadcast receiver in the
AndroidManifest.xml. Now now we've hard coded 3rd party package names. In order to make this scalable we need an easy way for 3rd party apps to register for an explicit broadcast, unless we can find an even better solution.Also, see #822.
