Badge ChooserActivity choices with their app icon for disambig
When two or more activities with the same user-visible label are shown, we have traditionally shown the app name or package name if the app names also match. This was to help the user tell the difference between multiple apps publishing similar activities and avoid unintentionally starting the wrong one. However, in the case of explicit choosers (e.g. ACTION_SEND sharing) a few common collisions occur in practice and falling all the way back to package name isn't very helpful. Instead, we now assume that the app icon, which the user has seen before at install time, is unique enough on its own to disambiguate these cases and avoid user confusion. We no longer show the app name or package name as secondary text in the chooser. In cases where an activity has a different icon from its containing app, we now badge the activity icon with the app icon so that the user knows which app a potentially ambiguous choice belongs to.
