Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The android SSO library currently does not support features like remote wipe and app-notifications and therefore cannot get used by e.g. talk-android and davx5 so nested app tokens are badly needed for this library to work as expected. https://github.com/nextcloud/Android-SingleSignOn/issues/110

Describe the solution you'd like
Please support nested app-tokens as described here: https://github.com/nextcloud/Android-SingleSignOn/issues/110#issuecomment-539411173

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatives have been discussed here: https://github.com/nextcloud/Android-SingleSignOn/issues/110

Additional context
Here is another issue where the lack of these features (especially remote-wipe) have been discussed: https://forums.bitfire.at/topic/2121/please-support-nextclouds-singlesignon-sso
