Description

```
I'd like to propose an idea to simplify the use of DW. All too often do I get
in to my "must get new apps" mood start downloading. I go to run the new app
and connection failure. DOH! I forgot about DW. So, I have to back out, go in
to DW, find it, apply it, back out, go back in to app.

If you're familiar with the "Apps 2SD Free" app by Sam Lu (and I'm sure others
do this as well), you'll know that once an app is installed, it checks to see
if it's Apps2SD compatible and if so, throws a notification where you can
select it and shortcut right to the settings page so you can move it.

How about a similar (user preference selectable) feature? When DW is enabled
and iptables applied, it can sit and watch for new apps to be installed and
throw up a notification. This way I'm reminded "Hey, do I need it?" and can
select it to apply if so. If I feel the app does not need access, a simple
clear or just ignore the notification and all is well.

Thoughts?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by examining how DroidWall detects its enabled state and applies iptables rules, then investigate Android app-install events and notification behavior. Done means a user-selectable notification appears for newly installed apps when DroidWall is enabled, with an action to apply rules and a way to dismiss or ignore it.
