Calling setTaskDescription() in a reflected way

BaseActivity.java

private void setTaskDescription(){
	if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
		String title = getString(R.string.app_name);
		Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
		int color = getResources().getColor(R.color.task_background);

		// The legacy method call
		// setTaskDescription(new ActivityManager.TaskDescription(title, icon, color));

        	// The reflected method call
       		try {
			Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("android.app.ActivityManager$TaskDescription");
			Constructor<?> cons = clazz.getConstructor(String.class, Bitmap.class, int.class);
			Object taskDescription = cons.newInstance(title, icon, color);

			Method method = ((Object) BaseActivity.this).getClass().getMethod("setTaskDescription", clazz);
			method.invoke(this, taskDescription); //this is your Activity instance
        	} catch (Exception e) {
			// Log this :)
        	}
        }
}

Good
