Programmatically enter multi-window mode in Android N
<p>Android N has a new feature - Multi Window Mode. It enables two applications to be active side-by-side (actually one one is active, other one is paused but we can see both simultaneously).</p>

<p>I am looking for an API that I can call to have my application enter multi-window mode. I couldn't find much help in Android N SDK docs. I am trying to have two activities of my app run side by side, but without user having to do manual steps.</p>

<p><strong>MANUALLY ENTERING MUTLI-WINDOW MODE</strong>
The user can switch into multi-window mode in the following ways:</p>

<p>If the user opens the Overview screen and performs a long press on an activity title, they can drag that activity to a highlighted portion of the screen to put the activity in multi-window mode.
If the user performs a long press on the Overview button, the device puts the current activity in multi-window mode, and opens the Overview screen to let the user choose another activity to share the screen.</p>
