Apparently, on Android, there's a way to automatically init things by using ContentProviders. This is not official, however Google does it quite in a few places so it should be safe enough (thanks Sebastian for finding this!).
The WorkManager library for scheduling background jobs, has an interesting comment in the initialize() method. And the docs say: "By default, this method should not be called because WorkManager is automatically initialized."
They do that by defining a ContentProvider:
The ContentProvider will do the initialization:
After creating the application process Android will create an instance of all ContentProviders (that is not really documented)
