Ability to enable Spotlight from AndroidManifest.xml

[LaurentTreguier]

Problem Statement

I was looking to enable Spotlight for and Android app. Up until now I had relied on the automatic initialization, with configuration through metadata tags in my AndroidManifest.xml file. However, it seems like it is not possible to enable Spotlight this way. The ManifestMetadataReader.java class has no reference anywhere to Spotlight, and the official docs for Spotlight only show integration through manual initialization. That last point makes me wonder, was this a conscious decision? Is it intentional to not allow Spotlight initialization through the manifest, or is it merely or oversight?
