Answer 1

Currently, there is no official way to detect if the STAMINA energy profile is selected. However, if there is enough community demand we may be able to open this up.

Yes, it would be good to have. Then I can inform user about adding my app into stamina whitelist. – Misjudge

I would like to have this option too. – Freehearted

@marlin-sony Any updates on that? Is there any unofficial way to detect STAMINA mode? – Kimbra

Note that "STAMINA" mode doesn't trigger the power saving mode listeners that recent Android version uses, which it definitely should... – Marlenamarlene

Answer 2

You could check it via

Settings.Secure.getInt(contentResolver, "somc.stamina_mode", 0) == 1

Works at least on the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (8.0.0)

Note that this only detects if the mode is enabled, not whether it is currently operating! So if the user has "activate when < 15%", and the device is at 100%, it'll still return true. – Marlenamarlene
