Today, modern vehicles are equipped with computers that can provide advanced driving assistance functionalities (ADAS), as well as with infotainment systems (IVI) that provide users with the relevant information about the vehicle and offer various entertainment features. To satisfy the growing user expectations from the IVI systems, Android is often used as the operating system in this domain. Users are already familiar with it, and it enables them to run the entertainment applications they normally use on their phones. Various IVI applications would benefit from the possibility to have access to ADAS data and resources. However, current applications do not provide the mechanism for resource sharing between the two domains. In this paper, we propose a solution that allows triggering actions in the IVI system, based on the data collected from the ADAS domain. On the IVI system side, Android Native Service is developed and extended with a comprehensive set of permissions to meet safety demands. The solution is implemented using the service-oriented architecture mechanism provided by COVESA CommonAPI and mapping it to the Android paradigm, evaluated in terms of safety demands required in the automotive industry.
