Tell me, there is, let's say, a PDF Reader and I need to implement page turning from another device. I sort of figured out everything, but how can I programmatically make svaypas on the device if my application is not running?

    You can programmatically emulate a swipe using the shell command: shell input swipe

     adb shell input swipe x1 y1 x2 y2 sss

    x1 - horizontal origin coordinates

    y1 - the initial coordinates of the vertical

    x2 - end coordinates horizontally

    y2 - final coordinates vertically

    sss - runtime in milliseconds

    PS Example of starting the shell from the application:

     Process su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("input swipe 10 20 30 40 100");

    but it probably needs root

    PPS is clear that will have to perform from the background
