At the home screen on Android, if we swipe to the right. It display Google discover . It will be useful if News will be available as a choice too.

By default the available provider are google discover and Samsung news.

Thanks you for your great work!

Great idea! You didn't find any doc's on how to build such a provider by any chance? I can't seem to find any information on how to build an alternative and it seems to me that only Google and Samsung have a "provider" for it so I'm wondering if it's a part of android where regular apps can't get into..?

I did a search but couldn't find it. However, I'm not familiar with Android development so maybe I didn't search with the right keywords...
